In Which I Do Not Say Meh To Gadgeting Up Some Fruit

It's almost done, my latest, luscious batch

Of freezer jam, which just last night I made.

Just strawberries and sugar; there's no catch,

Except to add some pectin. I won't trade

My product for a store-bought version, no!

I know just what is in it, and enjoy

The process and the way it makes eyes glow

(My dad's as those of at least one more boy,

Though really quite a few like it, so I've

Some trading partners, game meat for some jars

Of this good stuff). The happiness I strive

E'er to attain is made of this. My stars!

And it's so simply done I sometimes feel

That I am cheating, but the work is real.
