It was break time and I wanted a snack.
I had the yen for some Cracker Jack,
but all they had in the candy machine
was microwave popcorn, you know what I mean?
It was that or nothing, you know how that is.
So I bought it, and I nuked it, and it went like this.
It went pop pop! pop pop!pop pop, HISS!
pop pop! pop pop! pop pop, HISS
Whoa! something was wrong, that didn't sound right!
Are you sure the microwave's working alright?
it didn't seem ready, far as I could tell
so I opened up the oven, and what's that smell?
A thick cloud of funk hit me right in the face,
and my popcorn was soon stinking up the place!
It went pop pop! pop pop! pop pop, HISS
pop pop! pop pop! pop pop, HISS
The manager came in and said "Holy Jeese!
what have you been eating? Did you cut the cheese?"
"No" said I "that's the microwave oven,
it ruined my popcorn, that I had shoved in."
he said "this smells worse than a fertilizer train wreck.
I hate to tell you it's coming out of your paycheck!"
pop pop! pop pop! pop pop, HISS!
pop pop! pop pop! pop pop, HISS

Great contest entry. Loved the repetition at the end of each stanza. I could smell that awful smell wafting around in my brain. Good luck in the contest.

This was the first poem I've read this morning...and let me tell you.. I was not let down at all. LOL You've busted my guts here, I really enjoyed reading your tale of the burnt popcorn. I think that smell is indescribable beyond all means. Loved the way this write flowed, the flawless rhyming, and the catchy beat it held. Excellent job! Thanks for entering, and best of luck to you in the contest
