I love red pops

I can even

make my own

It's an art

It's a fun food

It's my jam

I love to make pops

All you do is

Boil the Karo

drop the red dye

at 360*

take it off the heat

at 380*

Add the rosy tang of oil

Mix and pour

into the mold

Yum, kids love them

I love them too

But, it's best to lick

pops when they cool

I know.

Just don't asth how

    This is such a “sweet” take on the challenge! I absolutely love it, especially that last line… sometimes you gotta learn things the hard way. 😋
