Pushing Wasabi

It was a little trippy
selling self care wasabi peas
to a county raised on chicken fried,
but once I pitched everyone could use
a little fire in their biscuits they started
planting the mouth burners on every road
not timeshared by weeds.

Once there is acceptance, then there be a flurry of activities from those who will jump on the bandwagon. Very much so Susie!

Susie, far out, man. This is such a wonderful poem. The story, the voice of this is just sooooo impressive. Well done and viva la!

Nice, concise, Susie. I like the fire in the biscuits competing for weed. I am not street knowing of all that's in here though.

It's far from being chicken eating that wasabi... so very creative.

Quite the sales lady (and creative to make this look so easy!)
