Puffing & Huffing
Written for "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT, topic: 50s FUN FACTS ! TV Dinners Were Introduced


What should we have for Thanksgiving?
How about some liver and cabbage stew?

That sounds horrible; I want turkey and stuffing.
I refuse to eat anything else, and I ain't bluffing!

Aunt Mabel don't like turkey; she's so unforgiving.
Grandpa won't eat stuffing, says it taste like a shoe!

It was back in the 50's when I heard all this puffing;
Swanson's TV dinners brought an end to the huffing!


It's kind of a varied rhyme pattern; trying something new.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
