Pilgrim Pops
Popcorn isn’t junk-food, is it?
Just another way the natives
knew to eat their big-ear cob-corn
roasted ‘til it shot white magic.
Some say they brought popping corn to
that first Plymouth Rock Thanksgiving;
we don’t know how they anointed
dry white fluffs like smoke from muskets.
No, the junk-food aspect comes from
oil of coconut or peanut,
salt or even caramel to
hide a toy - that’s Cracker Jack!
