“Perfect Pair” is a lovely poem about ketchup and mustard that is written on a pair of iconic, plastic, red and yellow ketchup and mustard bottles. The kind you see at almost every outdoor picnic where hamburgers and hotdogs are being served. The word “Perfect,” in bold, at the top of the red plastic ketchup bottle, has the first half of the poem written on it, and the word “Pair,” in bold, at the top of the yellow plastic mustard bottle, has the second half of the poem written on it. The first two sentences of the poem are: “A match made in heaven. And frankly, I couldn’t even imagine them without each other.”
“Up and Down” is a hand-drawn image of a girl jumping rope, and the string of the rope is the words of the poem. The poem goes like this: “Jumping up and down, I love to play around; my friends and I would compete, to see who we could beat; we’d then start the count off; the one who could skip the most, got to brag and boast.”
This reminds me of the simpler days of skipping rope in elementary school and reciting the song:
Cinderella dressed in yella,
went upstairs to kiss her fella.
Made a mistake, kissed a snake,
how many doctors did it take?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc.
We would see how many times we could jump rope until tripping over the rope and ending the counting. Whoever jumped the rope the most number of times got the bragging rights until the next recess.
