PDQ in Tin Foil
2015 edit

Janet Kuypers
PDQ in Tin Foil” written 06/05/06, edited 5/21/15

I’d say I wasn’t pampered,

but when I was in grade school
kids could buy
for their school lunches

either cartons of milk
or cartons of chocolate milk

and I didn’t like milk,
but I love chocolate
so I always drank chocolate milk

but I told mom that the
chocolate milk from the school cartons
was granulated, it didn’t taste right

so mom,
every day before school,
would put the chocolate

product PDQ
into a little pouch
of wrapped tin foil

so I could mix chocolate PDQ
in my regular milk

she did this
so I could have chocolate milk
just the way I wanted
