Ode to a Pickle in a Pinetree

by Leila S. Goldberger

I was eating my sandwich,
smoked meat on rye
When I spotted a Pinetree
out of the corner of my eye
So I said to myself,
on that sunshiny day...
"Self, take your pickle,
throw it away!"
Well, my response, I must say
was excited in the least,
So I grabbed my Dill Pickle and hurled it east!!
"FLY Pickle! FLY! Be Free through the air!"
Then suddenly, out of nowhere,
the PINETREE WAS THERE !!!
Oh, my pickle went crashing
through the branches and trees;
It, stuck there. Me, on my knees.
My heart became heavy.
I could no longer eat.
After all, the Dill Pickle
is what makes the smoked meat! The End
