Everyone into the pool! Hot thick air…swirling and twirling around the edges of the pool…and everyone can’t wait to get in, jump in, dive in! Simmering heated broth on this blistering June afternoon…one potato, two potatoes, three potatoes…hmmm. Children in the sunshine soup…must be eating a lot of potatoes out there…plop! No hitter, no hitter, no hitter…swing!
Flop! Blurp! Slop…sloppy, slippery, ploppery…one chunk, two chunks, three chunks…four. Childhood obesity right in front of my weary eyes…every imaginable ethnicity and demographic…all wet and chubby bubby and rolling all around…swimming all around in the cooking pool water…all the statistics, all the news charts, all the warnings…and everyone can’t wait to get into the pool…into the water…into the potato salad, the hot dogs, the chips…corn syrup for everyone, my friends!
And everyone can’t wait to dive in…sludgy, budgy, pudgy…summer sugar babies…swimming around, floating around, rolling around in the frothy cooling broth. Bubbling up from the bottom…troubling up from the bottom…and everyone into the pool!
