Butterscotch Favors

Poem Artwork

 

I’ll do a favor for a nickel,
Two bits will get you three,
My time is what
You are paying for;
My goodwill is yours for free.

What then is the difference,
Between a favor and a chore?
A favor might help to make a new friend,
But a chore only leads to more.

What then will it be,
Two chores for you, or three?
Maybe a favor would do the trick:
A nickel, a dime, or the full two bits.
What, my friend, will it take,
To make you happy on this fine day?

I guess you had better
Make it four,
Two bits for three favors,
Then a goodwill chore.

And on my way back home,
I’ll stop for an ice cream cone
To cool off after my busy day;
Three favors for three flavors,
And a butterscotch dip,
Then I’ll be on my way.

Love the photo, always did like birthday parties. And that devine icing on those cakes. Hard to resist. Butterscotch sauce is devine too and goes good with chocolate too. Nothing like ice cream to soothe your hurts and take you away to a new land of imagination.

Frank this is adoreable. I've got to read this to my little bug--she's struggling with understanding why chores are so great in her mom's opinion... smart and fun. (and delicious)--Charlie
