I'm A Cracker

By amphibianrose

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am a cracker, Not Saltine, nor Ritz. How did this name come about? It is the pits. Walking upstairs, just the other day. I was called a cracker, the only one I'd say. I'm not square,herbed or cheesy. I'm not eaten with sandwiches, nor am I greasy. I do not come in a box, nor am I shaped like a fish. I'm not eaten at a party, well, I wish. I may be dry, but I don't crumble when eaten. I'm not baked nor fried, no dough for heatin'. I just want to know, why I'm called a crispy wafer. If that's what we really are, I don't feel much safer.
