Methodist Pecans - poem

Methodist Pecans

 

Methodist pecans

 

Connie-the-Haircut-Queen sells us pecans

Every Christmas, good Methodist pecans

A fundraiser sponsored by the women’s club

To be baked into cookies and pies for Christmas day

 

Methodist pecans

 

They used to come from my grandfather’s trees

But now they’re grown and gathered somewhere else

Packaged in plastic, certified, and sealed

But still they’re good Methodist pecans

 

Methodist pecans

 

And in January when the hail-storms rattle

Stuffed in a barn-coat pocket while tracking cattle

 

Methodist pecans - Texas blessed and Texas’ best!
