I wrote a cherita for FOWC: Gravy, shared with DVerse OLN. Unfortunately, I missed the live event, but there was too much else going on. 🙂
As kids, who didn’t love making volcanoes:
Either as a science experiment for class, or
One made of mashed potatoes and gravy —
A baking-soda-and-vinegar mixture, or
Gravy overflowing the potatoes on a plate,
As if that’s the biggest disaster one could create.
I love your poem! I had the mashed potatoes and gravy one today!! Happy Thanksgiving!

I agree with Ron! Your poem reminds me of dinners at my grandparents’ house. Playing with meals was allowed and I used to make volcanoes out of mashed potato and gravy!

it was also good to make a soap suds volcano from a funnel in the sink, that made some nice messes. 🙂
