A Poem on the Website ofthe Red Dirt Writers Society
The diet-er by Beth Stephenson (Mar 2013)
I have kisses in my bedroom, Blisses in my car, I keep Snickers in my kitchen Jellies in a jar Russell Stover is my boyfriend, Grandma was a See Jolly Rancher is my husband Grandpa’s a Hershey I eat donuts for my breakfast Chips and dip for lunch My dinner’s something deep-fried But, I have a hunch That somebody’ll laugh at me Thinking it’s a joke When I peruse a menu And order Diet Coke.
I have kisses in my bedroom,
Blisses in my car,
I keep Snickers in my kitchen
Jellies in a jar
Russell Stover is my boyfriend,
Grandma was a See
Jolly Rancher is my husband
Grandpa’s a Hershey
I eat donuts for my breakfast
Chips and dip for lunch
My dinner’s something deep-fried
But, I have a hunch
That somebody’ll laugh at me
Thinking it’s a joke
When I peruse a menu
And order Diet Coke.
