Words: Use the following words in a poem. Pretzels, shout, threshold, pine, now, sulfur, ladybug, percolate, cap and lamp

Let’s give a shout out
to the one who eats hot
salty soft pretzels.

Who holds a pine scented
lamp that sputters and flares
in the darkest night.

While they watch gooey
black tar percolate from
the bowls of the earth.

A cautious ladybug creeps
across the felt cap of
 of the pretzel eater.

Now is the time to swat
the nefarious ladybug
as she steels across their cap.

Smack! The ladybug is
no more as a sudden soft scent
of sulfur permeates the air.
