I’m choosing prompt # 1 & 2

  1. A brand of saltine crackers we get is called Premium.
  2. They are okay, as crackers go, and taste okay, but they do live up to their name ‘cracker’.
  3. For some reason these little squares of crackers seem to actually crack and break apart at barely a touch.
  4. This fact frustrates me.

5. Another use for the word Premium is for prize ribbons.

6. I used to win Premium prize ribbons at the fair for my antiques and relics, and for my peanut butter cookies I’d enter.

7.  For all the ribbons won, the fair would pay a small amount of money, which was a nice bonus.

From wiki:

Premium award ribbons are furnished with pointed top, eyelet & twelve inch gold cord, looped & tied.

An example from Wiki …

#RDP #74 – Zest

Standard

#RDP #74 – Zest

RDP #74 – ZEST

***

Today for the RDP challenge, the word is ‘zest’.

What to say about zest?

All I can think of is soap. Zest soap. I might have used it before, but can’t remember. I think the ads they ran on TV and in magazines are to make you feel all zesty or something. Maybe it would give you a burst of energy to lather up with their zesty smelling soap?

###

Oh, there’s the zest you can grate off of a lemon or orange to put in a dish of food you’re cooking. I’ve probably done that a time or two. I don’t go around zesting fruits on a regular basis, though.

###

There is a saltine cracker called Zesta. I’ve probably had those at one time or another, but usually we get another brand. I don’t know why, as saltines by any name are all about the same, aren’t they?

###

~warning~spur of the moment bad poem ahead…

***

Lather up with Zest

Their ads say it’s the best

It gives you a fruity feeling

Orange or lemon zest

It’s easier than peeling

You may say this is crackers, and

Poetry is not for slackers
