Michelle Faulkner Poet Quintain (English)

The Trouble With Forks

So far, I tried apple a la mode
Trained my tongue to catch sugar's festoon
Upon tines, losing sweets I was owed
A fork won't cork my dessert boon
Now I eat my pie with a spoon.

Reason A. Poteet December 8, 2019 at 4:47 AM reminds me of my d/inlaw's Thanksgivng pecan pie...I spooned the runny filling onto some bread pudding which was dry. Good combo dessert. Congrats on your win.

Richard Lamoureux November 27, 2019 at 8:24 AM Clever, I like how you think. Besides it’s tough for one to talk with a forked tongue. Good luck in the contest.
