A couple days ago, I found a spice I'd never seen before in the rack at Wal-Mart. It was called "jerk seasoning." The name made me laugh and I decided to try to write a poem about it. I'm not very pleased with the results, so I challenge you to have fun trying one. Any form. I'd bet a limerick would be really apropos. Good luck! Here's mine. Spicy News Virginia Salter There it was, right in the spice bin, on top of all else in. “Jerk Seasoning”-- now what could that be? Sounds like a good idee, to me! Must be made of nice and kinder bits of spice-- like smiles, sweet wiles, toothless crocodiles. Posies, cozies, candy-grams all shredded to sweeten up the worst of souls who from our lives we’ve dreaded. How does one apply it, I might like to try it. Would you sprinkle eyes a-twinkle? Or stir it in a soup? Mix it in some goop, come, give me the scoop! Put it in some water? Tell me what I oughter know to cure my friend Joe. © February 8, 2001 |

I think I could manufacture the stuff...considering I live with the source. and the challenge? can it be any spice? or just the "jerk" variety? Love your sense of humor! |
