Pickle in a Barrel

At the bottom of the barrel,
you'll find the most delicious pickle.
Its bigger and better and its harder to find.
I've gone through tons of barrels and its a proven fact.
The bottom of the barrel has a pickle big and fat.

The brine is stronger at the bottom, yes.
The pickle there stays longer, I guess.
Its fatter from soaking up all that salt.
Its huge, I think that's
because its from the largest stalk.

I love the pickles that lie in rest.
At the bottom of the barrel I go in gest.
Inhaling slowly the taste so Divine.
Found only at the bottom,
having stayed a very long time.

I don't know how they get them in that spot.
but I sure thank who ever, I thank them a lot.
Question is will they continue,
To put the fattest, best pickle thats on the menu.

If you really want to take the test.
I will very convincingly suggest.
Climbing into the bottom of the pit.
Searching with hands carefully
and you'll come upon it.

Yes, indeed its the bottom of the barrel for me.
No one has to guess where I'll be.
They know what I'll be searching for.
At the bottom of the barrel there is always one more.
