NaPoWriMo 2019, Day 26

Today's prompt is to write a poem that makes use of the repetition of words.  So, this is what I came up with, repeating "Some folks" throughout. It's the sort of idea I get first thing in the morning.

Smorgasbord

Some folks like soy sauce on vanilla ice cream.
while others like it in their coffee.
Some folks like hot and sour soup
liberally sprinkled with toffee.

Some folks like Hostess Ding Dongs
smothered in extra hot taco sauce.
Some folks make salads of gumdrops
and anchovies in Spanish moss.

Some folks sprinkle olive oil
over a slice of blueberry pie.
Some folks like to spread peanut butter
onto a Reuben sandwich on rye.

Some folks eat their raisin bran
soaked in orange soda pop.
Some folks like a bowl of cheese dip
in which to dunk a lollipop.

Some folks like fish and chips
smothered in chocolate mousse.
Some folks like to stir cinnamon and salt
into a glass of cranberry juice.

Some folk mix marshmallow cream with deviled eggs.
That's their idea of an hors d'oeuvre.
Be careful of whose dinner invitation you accept.
You never know what they will serve. - Jeff Barnes
