Last night as I lay down in bed,
I was thirsty. I was hot.
Then to my mind came the perfect treat,
"Go get an Otter Pop!"
Then I realized much to my surprise,
They do more than quench your thirst.
Otter Pops are “magical”
I was so excited- -I thought I’d burst!
We eat them when we are happy.
We eat them when we are sad.
They help cheer up a lonely child,
And stop fights when we are mad.
You can put them on a knee that’s skinned
'Cause you wiped out on your bike.
You can use them for refreshment
When you are in the mountains on a hike.
Did you ever think a tube so thin,
With flavored water it is filled,
Could solve small problems in our lives?
What a simple answer….to be sure, I’m thrilled!
So next time you are sad, or mad,
Lonely, bored, or even weary.
Have yourself an Otter Pop-
And smile…..it’s all OK…..really, really!

So true. So true! I will be picking some up when I go to the store today. I've never felt so excited to eat one ... really! really!
Just had to say that today I enjoyed two of them. Yum! I gave two to Rowie, Lia also had one and screamed when it was all gone. I dont blame her one bit. My dad also joined in on the otter pop feast and I just had to laugh because I remembered your poem and it really fit the moment. I had to say it while enjoying it so much...."ODE to the Otter Pop". Did I mention that there only 25 calories? Bonus!

That was very deep poetry! ;)
We love it that you write and post your poetry, You're pretty cool, Em! I used to get so sad when all my otter pops were gone so I'd save the wrapper tube things and re-fill and freeze them. Gross, huh? But I was just trying to do as I was taught at GES and "reduce, reuse, and recycle."
