The Pickle Poem

The Pickle

I love those crunchy pickles

That grow from the pickle bean

They are the greenest pickles

That I have ever seen


I like them with my pancakes

I like them with my lunch

A party isn't proper

Without pickles in the punch




I like them sweet and tangy

Or puckerfied with dill

I dream of Summer barbecues

With pickles on the grill




I wear those gherkin fashions

I love that kosher style

I ride my motorpickle

Through the garden with a smile



When my life is over

And I cash the wooden nickel

I won't give up the ghost

Until I have just one more...pickle




I hope this "pickle poem" made you smile, it makes canning all those pickles worth it! Have a great day!

  5. The pickle poem made me smile also. There's nothing like fresh crunchy pickles; although, I don't think I've ever had them with breakfast. lol Great pic of them on ice.

    Your post about Stonewall Kitchen was wonderful! I've ordered from them many times and wish their store was a little closer! Good job! I really enjoy reading your posts!

  10. Thanks for stopping by and your comment. I had to check out your blog after I read the name, Ocean Breezes and Country Sneezes. Very catchy. I like what I see and I am now a follower. I'm sharing the pickle recipe with my nephew's wife, she is addicted to pickles.

  11. That is hilarious!
    Homemade pickles are sooo wonderful. We like those 14 day ones that almost taste like candy.
