Ready to Pop

The older couple was up, and ready for a surprise outing. She called him Papa, or Poppy, and he called her Mommy, although her real name was actually Poppy.

He started. "We need some breakfast before we go Poppy. How would Poppy like some Snap, Crackle, Pop...Rice Krispies?"

"Sure...Poppy...Poppy loves her some Rice Krispies! I love how they pop!"

They hit the E-way, and Poppy gunned the engine.

It startled her. "Watcha doin Poppy?"

"I just wanted to show you that the old Ford still has some pop...Poppy."

He pulled off the highway, and into a gas station. She cooed..."Ooh Poppy...what a surprise! A gas station. What's my surprise? A pack of gum?"

"You just sit tight Poppy. I'm going in to get us some pop and popped corn." He popped out of the Ford, and popped into the station...picking up the corn, a pop (Diet Coke), and 2 Tootsie Roll Pops (orange and red).

Finally, he drove them to a park known for having pretty and petite popping poppies. She asked..."Poppy...did we come to the poppy park to see if the poppies have popped?"

Poppy (him) immediately saw that the poppies hadn't yet popped. But...they're close. "Poppy...let's pop back into the car, and pop back home. We'll come back to the poppy park in a week when the poppies are ready to pop."

At least Pop didn't blow his top...instead...just taking a sip of pop.

7 words to end the story. "STOP...STOP...STOP...ENOUGH ABOUT THE POP!!!"

This is pretty much right out of the camera, and sorry for these last lines. (I thought I was done.)

I had to give the pop...just a little crop. (Had to get the yellow flower...out of the back-drop.)
