Pretzels

Pretzels are the best snack to eat,

no other snack to me can compete.

Most everyone likes them it's true,

having them as a snack is nothing new.

Pretzels have been around forever,

there are no ties we can sever.

There is a story I would like to tell,

about how these pretzels started to sell.

A monk from France shared his recipe,

it showed how to make a pretzel cookie you see.

He showed the American how it was made,

the way it was folded so the pretzel stayed.

Rolled the dough out and made it long,

tied it together like praying hands that are strong.

Tied it towards God because that where prayers go,

this made the shape of the pretzel and that is so.

Then some American took dough and did the same,

that's when the true pretzel got it's name.

So that is why the pretzel is the best snack ever,

to live without them I say never!
