Here in the newsroom at
YourHub.com, we get to enjoy a variety of candy from the bowl on managing editor
Fairlight Baer's desk.
The following poem is inspired by
William Carlos Williams and written in tribute to the generosity of YourHub.com community journalist and Jolly Rancher provider,
Karen Ward Gilbert.
This is just to say
(a parody)
I am sucking on
the candy
you put in
Fairlight's bowl
and which
you were getting
rid of,
saying no one likes them
Believe me
they are not so bad --
so sweet
and so jolly
And here is Williams' original version:
This Is Just to Say
by William Carlos Williams
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
