Popcorn’s an exciting treat
and popping it is quite a feat.
Kernels in the popper go,
where heating them is rather slow.
But then –
KABOOM!
KABANG!
KAPOW!
I watch the kernels and think ”Wow!”
Their transformation is a sight
from hard and gold
to soft and white.
I then eat popcorn really fast
cause making more is such a blast!

Reminded me of my dad getting out a big kettle, pouring some oil in, and then the wait. The sounds of the kernels just starting to pop, then picking up pace until it slowed down again. And the smell filled the kitchen. Microwave is not the same…

We used to pop ours with oil in the pressure cooker and slide it back and forth on the electric burner. It was good popcorn.

I love this. It’s like the sound track of a superhero comic book.

I love that you love it!! I understand the superhero comic book thing with the KAPOWS etc. I never thought of it before, but I expect I will never see it any other way now.
