Pease porridge hot
Pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.

Pease porridge, barely
Just say pease-concoction
For tho' I found a recipe
I then found inspiration.

Ad-hoc porridge hot
And plenty peasen in it
An overflowing pot
And a culinary hit.

Something-porridge hot
Something-porridge cold
Unless I set my spoon down now
It won't last nine days old.

(Not as good as the pink pottage, but still had enough difficulty making myself stop eating that my next glucometer reading is going to suck. Oops. Also: I am amused that on the one hand we have the singular-creep of "you" -- it started being used as a singular so folks coined "y'all", then some folks started using that as singular so they coined "all y'all" -- and on the other hand we have the plural-creep of "peas" -- "pease" was the singular of "peasen", but that final sound made it feel plural, so folks started using "pease" and then "peas" as plural, and coined "pea" for the new singular.)

Oops. Forgot to change line 12 when I changed line 10. Hmm. Will come back to this.
