Premium MemberShoulda Read the Fine Print


So many years ago, in my teen years,
   our mom received a gift, her newest 'toy',
      a Presto pressure cooker added to
her kitchen to create meals we'd enjoy.

Split pea soup recipe she'd planned to make,
   to cook for sure in minutes, not in hours.
      Excited we had gathered round to watch,
and knew fine soup for dinner would be ours.

At once, the pressure cooker went berserk!
   It started hissing, shaking...gave a hint,
      as soup shot up to paint our ceiling green,
that momma shoulda read the darn fine print!

Premium MemberThe Joy of Spam

One day, a convict got away, and went out on the lam.
And on the sly, he did buy, his very own kitchen cam.
Wanting to glow, in a reality show, though not a ham.
This jailbird, much preferred, to star in the Joy of Spam.
