The spoiled human brat,

is hissing like a cat. But

I won't give it back.

A favourite snack of childhood that.... who am I kidding? It's still a favourite snack. Coffee Crisp. One of Canada's most popular chocolate bars. And just for fun, here is an old TV commercial for said snack.

    Coffee crisp? I see coffee and I go ugh. Never did like the taste of coffee. I wonder what that tastes like though, never saw it before. Funny and that Cat of yours is your boss.

    My best man pal is from Toronto and I must share this with him. He is a reader in ViM on FB. Ken Donner. He needs to have this memory! Sweet Haiku!

    Sounds delicious! I'm guessing Abigail doesn't share. Best of luck getting it back. Loved your Senryu.

    One I've never had! We don't have it here. Even if we did, I'm one of those people that boycott Nestle 🧐

    what else does the world need besides cats and chocolate?

  • When I saw your title in my notifications, I was like, "How does one make a crisp coffee?" Then I saw your cover photo hahahahahhaa. We don't have Coffee Crisp here, hence the confusion. Hehehehe I'm so happy to have read a piece by Princess Abigail! It's been ages!

    I would've just taken it and run 😅😅😂 Love your senryu poem! 💌

  • Nice short, and funny

    Hahaha a security guard I’d not mess with. It’s all hers 😂😂😂😂 On a side note, that snack sounds delicious. Not something we have in Australia…darn it!

    Omg - I want this! I’ve never seen them here in the US.

  • My immediate question is, "How do they keep from looking at each other's cards?" lol! Adorable pair & commercial. Sounds tasty, though I don't recall ever seeing them here in the states (or even those years we toured Canada singing gospel music).

    That's so cute! Love abitails! Though this little weirdo here doesn't like any thing coffee flavoured except coffee 😁Super fun and cleverly done- loved the ad also!

    Clever pov! Loved it!

    Never had it, never will, but I can only imagine its a delight. That she will not appreciate and so she should give it back.

    Your cat! This is such a great poem, Cathy! Made me laugh. I was rather partial to a Coffee Crisp too and those old biddies in thst advert? Priceless!

  • Lacy Loar-Gruenler2 months ago

    Charming, Cathy! My kitty is fond of licking the butter out of my bowl of popcorn, but the bottom line is they rule.

  • John Cox2 months ago

    This a perfectly adorable Haiku, Cathy! That coffee crisp looks so good!
