Poke That Pea!
Poke that pea.
Don’t stop at one.
Spear a pair.
Peas are fun.
Stab two more.
Fill the tips.
Four green corks
Guard your lips.
Keep on jabbing.
Pack the tines.
String more beads.
Cram the lines.
When your fork is
Fully loaded,
When your steel is
Fully coated,
Pull the spines
Between your teeth.
Slip the blade
From its sheath.
Like Ali Baba
And the Forty Thieves,
Swipe the silver and
Finish the peas!
Love it! I’ve seen this game more than once. Played it myself too.
Wow. I love this one.
all that poking and stabbing of peas… my former pea-hating self loved that!
Yeah, even if you don’t want to eat them, they’re fun to poke.
I love poking peas and I love this poem! What fun — thank you for the smiles!
I love the way they pop when you poke them. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Fun poem! Gives peas a chance :).
Fun poem, love the rhythm and the sneaky ploy to get pea-averse kids indulging! 😉
I don’t even like peas but I loved this poem!
Love peas!! I do even more now. That was great!
