Pre-Seasoning Poem by anais vionet
Pre-Seasoning
We're no strangers to perceptible sacrifice
so, we've put all flavors of fun on ice.
Einsteining overnight - alone - is
about as exciting as a windows phone.
But I've been-to-the-show as a pinckney,
and in my years of parental-stalking analyses
the juice is definitely worth the squeeze.
Soon holiday parties will be made gold
by candlelight and champagne cold.
We'll decorate with reds and greens
and surrounding ourselves with tinseled things
we'll sing songs of angels and newborn kings.
But not just yet, no, not now - now tis the pre-seasoning -
a time of unrest, stress and testing - and God help
you if they're not impressed with your reasoning.

slang…
einsteining = studying for exams
been-to-the-show = seen things
pinckney = a child
the juice is worth the squeeze = the reward is worth the work

My stepfather had a windows phone once - there were few apps for it - but it had 'live' icons that were quite nice.
'pinckney, ' Oh, I just saw your definition of this above; I've not finished reading the poem, which i haven't like so far. Boo-hoo. I was only finding people's last names in my search.
