There Must Be More

Poetry

There Must Be More

K.F. Hartless

humor, quadrille

Strawberry blonde

buried in a flaky pastry bed.

Rumple her silver foil covers;

place her in a toaster tanning bed

and activate florescent red.

In a matter of seconds,

a golden brown goddess,

a sugary star.

She’s my lickable,

lovable,

biteable

Pop Tart.

  Thank you, John. To be honest, I haven’t had a pop tart in years, but as I’m feeling a bit under the weather, I was thinking one of those strawberry sugary things might be just what I need.

  into my mind. And so much fun, as usual.

  Me, too. 💜 It was our generation I imagine. I don’t know why, but it was my first thought after pop.

I’ve never heard of pop tarts. I thought the toasted tart was a metaphor for a Barbie-type. Now I know that you can actually eat Barbies 🙂

  So true. 🤣 Thin, flaky, overly sweet. Bad for you. You nailed it, Jane.

  So, no pastry pop tarts, but “Pop Star Tots” on a case-by-case basis? 😂 Sanchez is a dreamy one. Thanks for popping by, friend.

So much fun. We found out a few years ago that when our kids were little they used to hide Pop Tarts because it wasn’t something I usually bought for them.

  Smuggling the pop tarts…so funny. I don’t think my children have had them yet, but they would likely do the same. 🤣
