Just a Spoonful

Just a spoonful of magic helps the story go down

The story go down-own. The story go down.

Just a spoonful of magic helps the story go down.

In an awfully tasty way.

​

In every word, idea, or plot,

Originality of thought

Attracts the eye and ear,

And captivates.

And every masterpiece we make

Becomes a piece of cake.

A chop! A cut! It's best to clean it up.

 

Just a spoonful of magic helps the story go down

 

At Write-A-Touille Inkspire camp

We stir up THANKS that need a stamp

And madly sip our tea

that Carroll-vates.

And every time we listen well

we see the poem jell.

A pop! A snap! Here comes Rice Krispy rap!

​

    No more Rice Krispies….

We ran out of Rice Krispies….

    My tears will not stop.

Until I hear snap, crackle, and pop.

    I’ve brought the Rice Krispies.

    (Aside:  My mother-in-law)

Enough to last at least two months

    That’s how long I’ll be here.

    (Aside: It’s her 15th visit so far this year.)
