Take Flight: Poetry Monday


French Vanilla Cheesecake (no bake) | recipe developed by www.BakingInATornado.com | #recipe #dessert 

 

 


Poetry Monday's once a week.
I bet you know which day.
I don't participate every time,
But today I've come out to play.

My friends assign each week a theme,
Butterflies is what they chose.
Now it's up to all of us,
to put our thoughts into prose.








 

 
Take Flight


Time with her little toddler,
is something Beth held dear,
looking for fun things to do,
with an educational flare.


When there was opening,
of a live butterfly display,
right in their home town even,
planned to go on the very first day.

"Mommy has something special,
a new place for us to try,
together we're going to learn,
all about the butterfly." 


"When we get up in the morning, 
I'll make a yummy pie,
refrigerate it while we're gone, 
then come home and try."

But headstrong little children, 
like to learn in their own way.
Not always with the best results,
Beth found out the next day.

Stopped cold as in her kitchen,
there was such a shocking mess.
Yellow splotches everywhere.
What happened? Couldn't guess.
 
Covered in grease, her daughter,
tears running from each eye:
"I think that ours is broken, Mom,
this butter will not fly."

  1. Flying butter? It could have been worse (I guess). This recipe will be appreciated come summer.
