PO-EMotion -- Zest

A CLERIHEW FOR JAMA RATTIGAN

Jama shines above the rest,

cooks up blog posts filled with zest.

She's not gilding on a lily,

she's the allspice in our chili!

TURN THE HEAT UP

In our haste 

to pack away 

sweaters and mittens

we forget 

that spring is fickle.

Abandoning 

the tulips 

to the frigid deluge,

we stir more garlic, chiles, and cumin

into the steaming soup.
