So many times
this nursery rhyme spoken
a tongue twister
with its own history
Pierre Poivre
missionary from France
with an eye on peppers
places to plant and grow
and a recipe for pickling
no refrigeration
so Peter Piper picked
and pickled

dVerse prompt on stream of consciousness following my first experiment with pickling peppers. This rhyme was a childhood favorite.

I do hope Jane was careful handling the peppers she pickled …. nice stream of consciousness.
