W3

We looked out the window
Saw nothing but snow

Kids were squirrelly
“What can we do now?”

Parents spied their looks of doom
Decided to move to the other room

“I know what, popcorn balls!”
Mom’s expectations were small.

Dad started popping the corn
The popper looked pretty worn.

He over estimated its capacity
Mom thought, what audacity!

His not reading the recipe
Turned the kitchen to a messily

Full blown popcorn popper’s delight
Popcorn everywhere caused a fight

Mom and dad ever so sad
Butter sugar mess was what they now had

Kids gloom just disappeared
Faces with corn butter smeared

Parents slumped in chairs looking tired
Kids now smiling, their parents admired

Saturday Slime Day it was named

Used it Saturdays when weather was lame.
