Prequel

Peter Piper plucked a pound of putrid plums

Placing them in pies, pasta, and pizza

Peddling them primarily at the park

But putrid plums pay peanuts

So Peter Piper’s prestigious penthouse was repossessed

“Perhaps,” plucky Peter plotted

“Pickled peppers should plump my plastic purse.”

For all who've ever wondered why Peter Piper picked that peck of pickled peppers.
