Wingnuts, Cheese, and Chores--Acrostic Poems

It's Acrostic Poem day even though several people did it yesterday. They did haiku today and I did mine yesterday. Call me a rebel. Anywho, if you want to know more about this sort of poem, go here.












Can we please stop dusting?
Have you seen a dustless shelf, though you barely dusted it?
Or why bother making the bed?
Really, you're just going to get back in it.
Even the dishes...well okay. Wash the dishes. Otherwise, yech.
Still, time could be so much better spent reading.

             When God invented these, He did a great thing.

             I love that they hold things together without

             Needing other tools but your fingers

             Give that wingnut a crank and it's on.

             Never is it too awful to get it back off

             Until you want it gone

             Take a couple of fingers, twist it off.

             Saves all kinds of time and it sounds silly.

Can I have a couple of slices of tastebud heaven?

Heap it up on chips or a tortilla for a comfy tongue blanket

Everything tastes better with cheese on it

Even Brussels sprouts are choke down-able with gooey goodness.

Slather some of that on spaghetti or chili or nearly everything

Except peanut butter sandwiches. Blech.
