for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 1 October 2020, synchronise.
I had the idea for the start of the poem while I was getting changed, then hadn’t really come up with anything else, so decided to run with it. By the time I was about four verses in I realised I was a mile off course, so there is a pathetic attempt at the end to pull it all back together.
Pasteurised, Homogenised,
Silver-topped or Gold,
Full fat milk or semi’skimmed
A wonder to behold!
All these different types of milk,
Competing on the shelves,
So many types to choose from,
We all just please ourselves.
Would you like organic?
Or maybe lactose-free?
Or perhaps some soy or almond milk?
(I heard that tastes like pee.)
Condensed or evaporated,
Do we know what these things are?
Rice? Or oat? Or buttermilk?
Only halfway through so far.
The point is, there are many milks,
Too much to analyse,
So confuse them in the coffee shop,
And just ask for synchronised!

And that would be? Growing up on a dairy farm I hated the smell especially and taste of milk. Still do.

Oh, dear, I loked milk as a boy and now I like cattle. The field at the back, they normally put cows in it for, like, 2 days a year, presubably to fertilize the place. It was some maizey crop this year.

Ha! I drink 2% milk and my wife drinks flax milk. I take my coffee black and my wife uses hazelnut-flavored creamer.

I only ever tried cow’s milk. That almond milk, I heard something crazy like it was only 2% almonds, so I figure it’s just a marketing ploy. I never tried it, but the rhyme made me chuckle.

I have a post planned on milk and what do I see here? A poem on milks of all kinds. Gosh, I didn’t realize there were so many!

I found a web page which listed 22 different types of milk (although some of them looked identical to me). Whole milk I understand, but isn’t Raw milk exactly the same? Apparently not. But it was funny that the original synchronised made ,me think of pasteurised, and started the ball rolling.
