Poetry Friday: For the Kids
January 19, 2007
I'll bet you didn't know it was National Popcorn Day ...
No, neither did I, but now we do, and we have the perfect excuse to whip up a bowlful of that hot and buttery snack along with some sweet steaming cocoa. :)
So why not corral your clan and "pop" in an afternoon movie ~ a fun way to celebrate the end of the "work week."
Happy Friday!
A Popcorn Song
Sing a song of popcorn
When the snowstorms rage;
Fifty little round men
Put into a cage.
Shake them till they laugh and leap
Crowding to the top;
Watch them burst their little coats
Pop!! Pop!! Pop!!
~ Nancy Byrd Turner
Of course, it loses a bit in translation when you consider we only ever make microwave popcorn anymore. That's okay, it's still a mighty cute poem!
For the whole Poetry Friday Round-up, please stop by A Chair, A Fireplace and a Tea Cozy later today.
ETA - the Round up is at Kelly's Big A little a ~ thanks to Susan, for the tip! :)
