Default Ode to peanuts......dedicated to Jan Tink

I thought of jan when i slapped this to gether. SU's packing peanut...AAAARRGGG. (mind you, I am not a Poet!)

Ode To Peanuts


Oh peanuts, oh peanuts,
How we hate you.
With that obstinate cling,
Like the fresh morning dew

The vacuum, the swiffer,
to help clean out the box
We miss those air baggies.
Would say they’re the Tops

Oh peanuts, oh peanuts
Away with you go
Is the next order packed with them?
You will never know.

So sit there this day
in trembling fear
Oh no.....they are coming
So close and so near

I know why they did it
This dread of the town
It’s all that darn mocking
Of Clarence, the clown!

I'm laughing but you should see my craft room floor - I'm too busy (stamping, that is, or on here at grand ole' SCS) to vaccuum. I'll have to remember where it is first.

Good one! Hey Lis let's get together and put a whole bunch of this stuff on paper.

Every time I write this stuff I make my Mom almost pee her pants.

You got it kid, you really got it.

Love the poem. I'd say you are quite the poet!! At our house we call them "Ghost Poop"! One day my then 3yo son, was in the shipping store with me and yelled "Hey mom they have ghost poop here!" Boy did I have some 'splain' to do!!!

And here I thought I was the only writer of...er...poetry up here! Brava!

But when I think of peanuts, this more naturally springs to mind:

Found some peanuts,
Found some peanuts,
Found some peanuts just now!
In my Stampin' Up! order
Found some peanuts just now!

When Mr. Brown came
Up the driveway,
I started jumpin' up and down!
It was my latest stampin' order
In a box so big and brown.

Cracked it open,
Cracked it open
Cracked it open with a shout
And instead of plain brown paper
There were peanuts comin' out!

Peanuts in my hair
Peanuts everywhere
Peanuts in my toddlers mouth!
Poor thing thought they were popcorn,
And they're already headin' south!

Called Poison Control
Called Poison Control
Called Poison Control right away
"It's okay, ma'am, they're inert!
They won't hurt her in any way!"

This is based on a true story. My oldest daughter persuaded my middle child a couple of years ago that packing peanuts were popcorn and could and should be eaten. These weren't even the cornstarch ones, but good ole styrofoam. I called poison control and received the gladsome tidings, my oldest daughter spent some time reflecting on the matter in her room, and my middle child was told never to listen to another word her sister told her.

Oh Lisa and Jan! What awesome ditties!! And Jan, I knew the tune to your song but I wonder how many out there actually know that song?! We sang it all the time when I was a kid in the 60s & 70s but all these young'uns on here might not know it!
