Here's to Guys!
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Connie Hinnen Cook
Other Poems by Connie Hinnen Cook


I bought GUY'S chips
'Cause they don't fail,
But to my shock
The chips were *stale*!

My teeth were set
For crunchy chips
*Fresh* from the bag
Straight to my lips.

I wanted noise,
I wanted sound ~
Yet naught but *silence*
Did abound.

Limp and greasy!
Tasteless, flat!
Wilted chips
Fit for a *rat*!

As Dr. Seuss
Would sadly say,
"These chips are 'blah'
Take them away! ~

"If these were all
I had to eat
Green Eggs & Ham
Would be a treat!"

I asked myself
How can this be!
*Bad* chips from GUY'S?
What?! No-siree!

The bag says: "Fresh!
Mouth-watering good!"
But *these* chips taste
As "fresh" as wood!

So now I'm sending
You this note,
You wanted comments,
So I wrote.

No matter what
The hows & whys,
We can't have chips
Like *this* from GUY'S.

No matter who
Or what's to blame,
We can't have folks
Defile *this* name.

For GUY'S unique!
And, as you see,
That special name
Belongs to *me*!

So, "Here's to GUY'S!"
A must for lunch!
And let me taste
Their *crispy* crunch!

Just make 'em *fresh*
And you will see:
I'm *proud* you share
GUY'S name with me!

aka Mrs. GUY Cook

"A good name is more desirable
than great riches." (Proverbs 22:1a, NIV)

P.S. ~ GUY'S Chips responded to this with an
adorable letter & a great sense of humor!
And free coupons!
