I always thought that pickles
Grew on a pickle tree.
But any cucumber will tell you:
“The pickle comes from me!”
How can they taste so different
And yet still be the same?!
The secret is in the vinegar,
And fermentation is to blame!
The cucumber takes a bath
In a salty, acidic brine.
It stays in there for 7 days
And comes out tasting fine.
Cucumbers when left untreated,
Are something I abhor.
But when they turn to pickles,
They are better than before.
