they were always there,
who cared?
mostly holidays,
kind of in the way.
on a relish tray, uncommon today..
kids liked them, I think,
I did, when I was a kid.
still I buy them at holidays,
making sure they're on the tray..
just in case, my parents would say..
little pickles etched into my mind,
their taste unique,
identified by the blind!
they have no other purpose, no other place,
when I see them a smile appears on my face.
between green olives and cherry peppers they will
forever reside, want one?
open wide!! ( news item) Vlasic company has just been hit with a lawsuit from wizard of oz cast members, forcing them to change their jars to read "little people gherkins" not midget!
