Spice

Pumpkin spice coffee

and pumpkin spice cream

pumpkin spice donuts ~

I’m seeing a theme

pumpkin spice cupcakes

with pumpkin spice tea

we’re going too far

with this pumpkin-y-spree

pumpkin spice toothpaste

and pumpkin spice wine ~

next they’ll put pickles

in pumpkin spice brine

I guess it’s just Fall;

it’s the pumpkin’s main stint…

next month everything

will be Christmas-y mint.

 

Author's Note

Seriously. Toothpaste.

haha, excellent poem with good humor. Toothpaste? I don't know if Crest will even consider that but you could try? haha

[Rita L. Sev]

The thought makes me ill... but it's in everything else, so why not? Lol! Thanks, Tim!

[Eddie Phillips]

This is funny and cute. My wife loved it too.

[Rita L. Sev]

:) Thanks, Eddie - wonder what flavor next month will bring...

[Rita L. Sev]

Welcome Rita :) I can tell lol:)

I've not seen pumpkin spice toothpaste...is it...um...good? I have seen cinnamon flavored toothpaste...it is my favorite.
uh...pumpkin spice pickles????
Well, I do like sweet pickles...but...
hmmmm....

[Rita L. Sev]

There is an allspice and cinnamon all-natural toothpaste that is touted as "pumpkin spice". I have no desire to try it. I sincerely hope no one tries making the pickles... :)

[Angel]

The toothpaste...might...be palatable. Maybe.
But...pickles? Pumpkin pickles???
I don't think there'd be a market for them...

Haha Very clever and cute...pretty soon we'll be bemoaning turkey's omnipresence. Still better than any kind of food that comes from a pumpkin though ;P

[Rita L. Sev]

I do love pumpkin pie, but the "let's put pumpkin spice in everything" craze is out of hand! ;) Thanks, K!

[kublakhan27]

Haha Very true ;)
