Brine or Beauty?

Love is juicy, sharp and fickle;
Somewhat like a Gherkin pickle!
Once a sleek and pale cucumber!
Til the vinegar encumbers!
Lumpy, shriveled, green as sin;
Ah, but what delight within!
When your hormones get to perkin;
And the pretty girls are lurkin;
Why settle for a face devine?
Knowing time is beautys brine.
Gorgeous will take years of workin--
Wiser you to pick a Gherkin!

now wait
when I was a kid
I wouldn/'/t eat anything
I was so much a born
vegetarian
but I liked them pickle/'/s
from the get go
loved the brine
O I can/'/t say it was the lacto-fermentation
process at all
I wouldn/'/t say that
But, then, whatever did I like
about the pickle then
you might wonder
it was the taste and the feel
on a cold winters day
and there I was barefoot
on the cold floor when
I first discovered them
sitting on the shelf
I popped that first lid
and pop
I somehow knew
of autumn
and age
as it revealed
itself to me
in its marvelous
juice and spice
Peace

| Was intending only to read, but I couldn/'/t let this one go. It is a little gem of wit, as refreshing as a cool shower on a humid afternoon. |
