Yesterday (12/6) was my dad’s birthday.
He hasn’t received his gift yet because I’m packaging everything into one shipment to NC. That’s mostly because mom’s birthday is on the 16th, then of course we have Christmas coming up shortly thereafter.
It’s a busy month.
So I have written a poem to celebrate.
Ode to Butter Pecan
oh butter pecan, oh butter pecan,
how crunchy you are to my teeth
your sweet taste, and smooth texture
oh butter pecan, oh butter pecan.
If you would like to read more insane poetry from Heath Buckmaster, you can purchase Pear in a Bowl, a whimsical series.
It is available in softcover from amazon.com or in signed softcover edition from the author.
