Deliberate Day 28

Not a whole lot to write about on this Deliberate Day #28 so ... I will share a poem from my upcoming children's poetry book, "Of Pickles, Prunes and Lollipops."  :-)  Here goes:

In a Pickle

If I were a pickle

Living in a jar

I'd have my own shelf in the fridge

And never travel far.

I think I'd be a happy dill

(I doubt I would complain) ...

But after years of chillin'

Life might get a bit 'mundane' ~

I think it is quite possible

That one day I'd be hopin'

To make a GRAND escape

(When someone left my fridge door open!)

Where would I venture after that

We'd have to wait and see -

I'd check my new surroundings out

And plan my 'strategy' ....

Would I want to travel far

Across the ocean blue?

Or maybe stick closer to home?

Whatever would I do?

I think the safest plan, my friend,

Is neither "near" NOR "far" -

I just think I'm most happy living

In my pickle jar!
