Food
I asked the moon once, what he saw in human life
(and he had only one word to reply to me)
FOOD
I was dumfounded, but then got to thinking. Food,,hmmm..
isn't life just like food? There's always a few rotten apples
that spoil the whole group, there's some nasty rotten bananas
that get tossed in the mix(always), then there's the pitted prunes, who nobody
really likes, but they say they do anyways! There's the sweet potatoes
the sweet plumbs, and we can't forget the sweet little corns, who laugh
and laugh at all the other foods because they think they have it so great.
There's the jealous cabbages who just can't understand what's so great about
being a lettuce head. There's the peach and the grape, and the ever so evil
peanut,,always wanting to be the nutties nut around. And who can forget those
darned egg noodles, who get labeled as freaks just for the stuff they stand for.
I personally have no regrets about those little bon bons, who think they can just
say whatever they want and seduce you. And what's so special about beans, sure they
make you grow, but so does fertilizer. And last but not least,,there's the ever elusive
marshmallow(sp)..them sneaky little devils always seem to turn up when you need them most huh?
After all that, I decided that life was better left at the table, so everyone
can enjoy a sweet piece of what they deserve..all the way from the apricot to
the yellow squash. You can even have a piece of mine..if you're not too full.
(I haven't found the rolaids in life yet so bear with me until then)
And if you fall asleep in your plate, don't worry, there's always a few of them
sugar cubes around, and they're always the life of the party!
