Effervescent baker Tiffany
Had an electric epiphany
Electing to add an ephah
Of enchanted yeast
To her emerging feast
Expanding her elegant eclairs
Exponentially
Enveloping every kitchen surface eventually,
She exclaimed, “Can I evade excess?
Perhaps there’ll be less,
If I expropriate a nibble.” 

Happy Exponential Day Everyone! (The Exponential Constant is 2.7)

Ephah -  An ancient Hebrew measurement that's probably too big to put into an eclair recipe, but at least it starts with E!

Glissading serpents slide
Over still stones saturated
In sunlight settling in circles
With glistening scales
And spilling sideways in scads
of smooth scaly noodles
Slinking and slithering this way
And that, swirling through a mass
Of hisses and rustles like silken
Laces of snakes

Splendid

Splattering of ink
Spilling words
Splendid thoughts and rhymes

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.
