AN ICE CREAM CONE FOR LEN - Saturday Writing Essential by Barbary Chaapel

What a tasty way to toast the host of Saturday Writing Essential

I have to agree Len is the most as he spurs our mental potential

Our editor for two years is most worthy of an ice cream cone

Come, let's add a crown, a scepter,Â and a throne

It's better than a dried up bone

MY, my, have not these two years flown?

And now to sweeten up the pot

I'll offer something really hot

To warm him after ice cream chill

An antidote if you will

To celebrate a worthy feat

Here's another special treat

My dear these peppers might produce a tear

So I'll offer you an ice-cold beer

to soothe your burning throat!

Just one more antidote

I do love it and the peppers look great. I need something to spice up my salsa for the Daytona 500 tomorrow. Thank you very much.

A double thank you for taking the SatWE challenge and for sharing with The Triple Name Club.

It tumbled out after I read Barbary's post. You do deserve a prize for the good work you do.

Well done, Jan. When I got to the peppers I thought you were goiing to say something like a cool treat for a hot dude but it was still a nice tribute to Len for his hard work.

Ice cream and hot peppers? Do you run hot and cold? or is it all heat with you? They actually make weird ice creams like that on "Iron Chef America". Hot pepper ice cream. The best of both words all rolled up into one.

A lovely tribute, Jan. I'm perspiring just thinking of all that heat.

Thank you submitting to the Gatherâ€™s Luminous Writers and Artists.

Well Barbary gave him the cone and I just added a few other treats...
Would you like an antiperspirant?

stephen berwaldt Feb 25, 2012, 6:48pm UTC

Would you apply it personally? :)

When we were on Martha's Vineyard they had lobster ice cream. I don't know...doesn't sound great to me but then hot pepper ice cream doesn't either.

Granny Janny Feb 26, 2012, 3:33am UTC

Ewe...I agree.

As if a double scoop of ice cream wasn't enough, the the lucky bugger is now getting red hot chilies. I can see the hand of Mr Beelzebub at work here.
