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. The owner of my coffee shop made a sign that said, "all of your disgusting fall drinks are back." This reminds me of that.

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! He's not going to get many sales of the stuff that way! :)

Oh god... toothpaste? A great commentary on our seasonal obsessions. I have to admit I do love pumpkin bread. You've got such a good eye for helping us see some of the things right before our eyes and at the end of our noses!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Blue! Everything is a poem - and let's face it, the pumpkin spice thing is screaming from every coffee shop and bakery these days! :)

[icelandicblue]

It's so enticing at the beginning of the season and so overdone by the end. I'll be loving the mint when it arrives until I don't.

[Rita L. Sev]

LOL! Yep - the candy cane mint flavor is one I eagerly anticipate - and then never want to see again... until next year. ;)

I guess companies get carried away and make toothpastes of pumpkin spice flavors which I never tried. As for the coffee, cakes and doughnuts I'll take them...A very good and flavorful poem...:)......................

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Sami - I do like the flavor, but they seem to be putting it in everything! :)

[Sami Khalil]

True...You are welcome...:).............

Yum…… This a really wonderful write, Frieda.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Pryde - for both the kind words and for elevating me to the level of Frieda! ;)

[Pryde Foltz]

Hahahaha. That's funny. A Friedian slip. Great write, Rita.

I love pumpkin spice muffins. Not PS coffee though. Cute poem Rita

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Mark - I actually like pumpkin spice, but it's literally everywhere...
