Tempting little Tater Tot

[kmik]

Tempting little Tater Tot twirling on my table
I will resist you because I am able

I pick you up, to put you on a plate
because I won't eat you, that's not your fate

In my hand you cast your spell
your warmth, your grease, your yummy smell

My mind goes blank, you take control
you move my arm, I ignore my goal

Way in back I hear a voice
it says "NO WAIT! That's not YOUR choice!"

Mighty Giant Tater Tot, now we must fight
I must not fall to you, not even for one bite

Your powers overwhelm me, your force is very strong
but my body knows to eat you would be very wrong

Terrifying Mammoth Tater Tot, crushing my every will
Why do you torture me? Why torment me still?

I've made a vow and promised myself
I'd stay all raw for my life and my health

With focus and persistence, I regain awareness
Your way of battle is void of any fairness

I take a breath and summon all my strength
I must stay raw, now at any length

I clench my teeth, and force fingers apart
I don't eat cooked, and you can't make me start

As you fall down to the plate
I hear your words, you say "Just wait!"

"I'll get you next time, when you're weak!"
But I know I'll reach the goal I seek.

I've won this time, and I'll win the lot
cuz you're just a stupid little tater tot


(I'm not a poet... I know it :D I just had this battle with a tater tot at lunch today. Just thought I'd share!)

LOL! That was pretty poetic...

WAY cute! Everytime I see tater tots now(or other tempting cooked food), I'll think of that poem and look away :D
Thanks for sharing it!

[Sweet lips]

That was too cute - was there someone, where you could also tell the tater tot - you are under my feet. I went to enemy's came and stole what was taken from me, when I smashed y'all - tater tots under my feet.

I really like it and up it goes on the fridge as I continue to throw out the food that keeps sneaking in - someone ought to get the message here!

Girl you are a hoot!

I love that. Those teeny tiny things turn monsterous on me too.

I read something once that went something like this:

"If you think you are too small to change the world, imagine being in the same room as a wasp"

Excellent!! Woo-hoo!!! *holding up lighter*

[kmik]

:o glad you enjoyed it... and for those of you that think it's dumb, thanks for not saying anything LOL!

Bravo!

I printed that out and put it on the fridge. Very well done. I really enjoyed that post. I don't like them battles either, So far I have one them all. But I know there will be many more. The longer I go raw the stronger I get. I never really liked that kind of food anyway. But they smell kinda good. But no way would I give into one of them. Great post thanks for that one.

I loved how it got bigger and bigger and then was reduced to the powerless little thing it really is! Thanks for the smile~ :D
