  1. Ode to Leafofgold and Oldbull:

    A Poem About A Pickle…
    A friend called me on the telephone
    and said “Tickle me in my funny bone
    it would make me laugh when I’m alone
    if you would write a poem about a pickle!”

    Well, I’ve written poems of a love so true
    and the fickle things that people do
    and poems for my children too
    but I’ve never written a poem about a pickle!

    So here I am from late at night
    ’til the trickle of the morning’s light
    but I just can’t seem to get it right
    when writing a poem about a pickle!

    I can’t find the words that rhyme
    bet your nickel to my dime
    that I’m running out of time
    to write this poem about a pickle!

    I give up! It’s over, I quit!
    It will prickle me into a fit
    I can’t go on, that’s all, that’s it
    I’ll never write this poem about a pickle!
