Words
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

Midnight Mecca
Fluorescent lights hummed
a monotone drone,
In the background,
the resonant chimes and dings
of the cash register sing.
A lone moth fluttered
past my empty dome
Light, purposeless,
similar to myself.
Glassy eyes wandered back,
staring deep into the infinite
assembly line I could not help
but lose myself in.
Neon nectars beckoned me
like a sugary siren,
I was a

Pretzel
Fold her like a pretzel
Girl be going mental
Nuttin in her mouth
Now I’m messing up her dental
Treat it like a rental
Park it in the temple
Riding with the homies
And we dawging in the kennel
Shawty sentimental
Body instrumental
Tryna tie me down
But I’m moving continental
Dancing like a stripper
Shake it like a teaser
Louding up the

Pretzel Day
Today is Pretzel Day – hooray!
So when it’s time for snacks,
Indulge in salty twists or sticks
To help your mood relax.
Or maybe try some pretzel rods
Or ones with honey wheat
Or peanut butter stuffed inside,
A high caloric treat.
You might opt for the soft-baked type
With sprinkled salt or seeds.
A squirt of mustard on the top’s
All anybody needs.
Though chips

A Case For the Pretzel
Today is National Pretzel Day…the day to give our hats a tip
to the long-suffering cousin of the more popular potato chip.
I’m not sure how it happened…why or where or when
but in a list of the most popular snacks...pretzels aren’t in the top 10?
How can they lose out to Cheetos...sure they may be a little bit

Pretzel Rods
The corner candy store displayed,
On the counter next to where you paid,
Tall pretzel rods, two cents a pop,
In a glass container with a top.
They were often added to a bill –
Toss some pretzels in, please, if you will –
Or were ordered by a kid who’d planned,
His pennies clutched in a sweaty hand.
But the best

A Pretzel Treat That's Good To Eat
Made with dough twisted in knots
Pretzels have always been a part
Of carnivals, shows, and fairs
You can find them anywhere
Hot and steamy they taste great
And will never go to waste
Coming in all kinds of flavors
It is so easy to savor
Each and every yummy bite
Morning, noon or even night
You can find them tasting good
Combined with all different

Who's the Pretzel
~~~Who's the Pretzel ?~~~
Off to my first yoga class I went
After much money on outfit spent.
Twisted into pretzel form.
These positions not the norm.
I was designed for straight world, not bent.
Looked around to watch rest of the class.
Only view was of my own wide ass.
All of my joints

History of the Pretzel
Your bedtime prayers
Coupled with the right Scriptures
Yield "pretiolas"
To tie the knot with...
Thick, soft "bretzels" are folded
Like arm over arm.
Hard, brown pretzel twists
Are more than little rewards-
Sweet licks, salty bites...
