Use Me Fresh

Skewers never
skew me, toothpicks
would be pointless.
I’m not an item
for your pantry,
won’t wait, pickled
and shelved, for
your convenience...

And no part of me
fits your olive dish.

ROFL... My only olive dish was broken by a falling bottle of tabasco sauce... this has more zing to it than the condiment! LOL

Delightful write, my friend! *S*

M-- You know what I mean about, uh, not fitting.....?    ......rodent runs for nearest hole......

Susan -- wrong name....official name is: Convenience Oriented Susan

DA...keep smilin, and I will too, knowing you're a nice safe distance away there in Australia.....!!

Yep, arthur, you might say that....

Hi Pil... no, definitely no....that's no remedy, and ya can go blind, so they say....

Aenimal knows why I wrote this...yep!

Tabasco....Suthern, you have a vile sense of humor -- vile!

Har, Larry -- I been frozen out a time or two...dunno about that grinding thing though, though I did know a gal....

Hmmmmmm....Bonnie and enchantress talk about tasting......I think I'm in love....

You are correct, Cap'n...and I like a little bite now and then!

Sunshine, Sunshine, Sunshine....I will not even approach a possible response to that....nope, won't say a word......
