Crayons



To the girl with a crayon-craving desire, Your taste buds, my dear, truly inspire.
In a world of flavors, so strange and wild,
You opt for crayons, the colorful kind.

While others munch on cookies and cake,
You've got crayon cravings to partake.
Red, green, and yellow, you boldly chew,
In your quirky adventures, you're one of the few.

With a crayon in hand and a mischievous grin,
You color the world in a way that's akin,
To a rainbow buffet, so vibrant and bold,
Who knew crayons could be a delicacy, I'm told?

But let's be careful, my beautiful friend,
Crayons are meant for art in the end.
Let's stick to snacks that are safe and sound,
So your taste buds and tummy stay quite renowned!

Your uniqueness is a thing I adore,
But let's find foods that pleases you more.
In this funny journey, you truly shine,
Just promise me you'll stick to food next time!

Your quirkiness shines in your own special way,
In this world, you add a bit of play.
So, let's keep the laughter, your zest, and your fun,
But leave the crayon-eating for when the  art is done

      Oh…And by the way…These did not work as well as the ones prescribed by the kind doctor who is a member of the IOOF for my unusual seasonal allergies…Go Figure…So much for The Mighty Masons and their connections and trickery and deception…
