"...these are a few of my favorite things"


AN ODE TO CHEX MIX


My dear friend Jami gave me a fix

Of my favorite snack ever--Traditional Chex Mix

Not Sweet N Salty, Fruit N' Nut or Cheddar

It's just plain original that makes my day better

There's just something about Cherry Coke and Chex Mix

What's not to love about seasoned mini bread sticks?

Not to mention the slices o' bagel, pretzels and Chex

I would almost say that it's better than (you know)

So I tip my hat to the friends and General Mills

For inventing a snack that will cure all my ills

It won't even add inches to my hips

If only they'd stop including rye chips

So with this poem I thank my dear friend

Who inspired the prose that has come to an end.

Never has poetry evoked such emotion. . .

That poem is just awesome. It makes me melt that there is a sista out there who can rhyme about nothing and make it sound amazing... Thank your hubby for Mia's blessing for me, eh? You guys are awesome, and your blog is awesomely entertaining!

Yes, I too am weeping...oh, wait. I just had something in my eye.
