This little poem is linked to week 152 of Saturday Centus! We actually did this today with some of our Grandlittles! Oh what fun! To read other links using this picture prompt, just click here.
We cover the table carefully…
The kitchen smells sharp and vinegar-y…
We fight for the colors…
…and fight for the dippers…
“Who has the white crayon!”
“Whose egg is just sitting
here in the purple!
Hey! Pass me the green!”
All through the years
it’s been the same scene.
No matter how many I boil
there is never enough.
We fight over the last two!
Things can get rough!
But after…
The after…
Can be so sublime…
Pickled and deviled and egg salad so fine!
“Hey, quit hogging the blue!”
It’s just about Easter!
and the egg dyeing's not through.
Your poem is so cute!

Hooray Jenny! you followed the teacher's rules and did swell at rhyming! Oh wait- of course you did well, you are the teacher- what the bells is wrong with me- can't you see I truly and vinegar-ly am so sorry really, truly!! I didn't! :)
ReplyDeleteDelightful ! Were you there when our 5 kids used to color Eggs ? Really felt like it to me...well done !!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat brings back memories for me is when someone drops and cracks an egg before it gets dyed and then the fight begins that there aren't enough eggs. :) Happy Easter to you!

ReplyDeleteWhen my daughter was little, we used to colour eggs every year. I looked so young then. Sigh.
Good one, Jen!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I don't even do Easter eggs any more? Once the kids left, I gave up on it. But I will NEVER give up on deviled eggs.
