I'm tossing out an old pitch today, a poem from Pumpkin Butterfly that 's just full of those -CHs I love so muCH. Without further ado (and with deep longing for more of the hint of warmth that we got in Bethesda today)....
Cherry Very
Be sneaky, be cheeky
Pinch from the kitchen
The reddest, the roundest there are
A bowl full of cherries
a bowl of the very
most cherriest bombs by far
Backbone straight
Step up to the plate
Puff up your chest and lungs
Swallow the fruit
Ready to shoot
Put the pit in the groove of your tongue
One more tip:
Round your lips
To launch it without a hitch
Don’t get tense
Aim for the fence
Wind up like you’re fixing to pitch
Now blast it hard
Across the yard
Kissing that missile goodbye
It’s over the fence!
It’s out of the park!
It’s a letloose cherryjuice
noschool slobberdrool
spitwhistle summerfun home run!
