Mince
Sprinkle secret spice and salt to savor
Pour syrup liberally
Watch them come to the table.

Brian has come up with a great prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub concerning bumper stickers. I’m combining it with Monkey Man’s challenge to write a poem or story in exactly 160 characters.
{ 12 comments… read them below or add one }
amen…they need to stand behind their words…why do we fall for it every election though…they say one thing, then do another…its all jacked up
A delicious mixup of words and thoughts–and I totally agree with your closing lines.
Wonderful 160! Love it.
Lovely metaphor!
Perfectly 160!
Nicely done. It is a challenge to get only 160 and have it work. I let Word do my counting. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.
Good job. And it makes sense.
Ha. this had a great turn. you’re right it is short, but very nice.
thanks.
smart metaphor.
the end is great, yeah, imagine all these people making all these ridiculous statements eating their own words….right!!
short and to the point, and powerful!
i always wonder what that secret spice is what makes them alive…great take on the prompt belinda
Love it!
