I hope this brings a smile to your day…

Post by Jacko079 »

I hope this brings a smile to your day, it did to mine.

For about the last couple of weeks, there has been a video going around the internet about the “corn kid”. “Corn kid” or Tariq, is just a kid who absolutely loves corn. The video is very refreshing and funny. :)

Many of you may have already seen this, but would it hurt to see it again?

Even a song was made about him…

Corn on the cob, cooked over a fire, is indeed a fine thing! I wasted years of my life avoiding this delicacy because I was put off by the pong from the tinned sweetcorn I used for fishbait as a kid. :)

Corn, corn, corn

Corn on the cob,
Put it on the hob.
Corn in the pot,
Oh, so hot.

Corn cobs brown,
Let's go to town.
Corn on the grill,
That will fit the bill.

Corn from the oven.
Give me a dozen.
With butter and cream.
Just let them steam.

Corn cobs steaming,
Soft juice streaming.
Sweet corn cobs.
Salty golden grain.

Well I tried to make a poem!

No, I don't mind! Go for it. That's how I write poems sometimes! :)

That's good it has rhythm.

Wow! Glad you enjoyed it.

It's corn! It has the juice, it has the juice.
So, I was just watching the news, and I saw that the corn kid had died, I have seen this video and it's so cute! I do not know if he actually died or not, though.

No, it was a pure hoax. Somebody created a completely faked news article and posted it online as though it were real, for some weird reason. Corn Kid is apparently still very much alive and well. :)

I was looking through my old posts that I commented on, and I found this one.

This post is somewhat relevant to what [mention]Davey944676[/mention] said. I commented about fake news, and I felt like that was relevant to this conversation.
