Plump juicy pickled onions <br />In the bottom of the jar <br />I can’t reach with a normal fork <br />Because they don’t reach far <br /> <br />I went down to the kitchen shop <br />With my old spaniel plodder <br />To buy the special thing I need <br />A longer pickle prodder <br /> <br />The salesman was delighted <br />As I took my pickles out <br />Their pickle prodders were the best <br />Of that he had no doubt <br /> <br />His pristine plated pickle prods <br />Produced to proddle pickle <br />Placed with precise precision <br />For pickles feeling fickle <br /> <br />He proddled nearly half an hour <br />Chased pickles near and far <br />But when he’d done I had no need <br />I just bought a smaller jar <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles
