In Case You Stop By
Copyright 2002 Stan Lyness
I got some berries in case you stop by,
you might, you said, you know,
so I made shortcake to have on hand;
it's good to have things on hand,
in case your sun and moon drop in
or maybe the Pope,
so anyway I whipped up some cream
to have, in case.
The cream I had to pitch, and I hurriedly gobbled the berries.
Who knew berries could turn so fast?
Now the shortcakes should keep forever,
in the freezer, and would have,
but the power went out in a storm, last winter.
What a treat for me, shortcakes in winter!
And now I keep butter and flour and sugar
in case you stop by.
And frozen berries too.
And there's Cool Whip waiting,
in a cold case at the corner store,
for whenever it's needed, in case you stop by.
You might, you said, you know.
