Accolades and words of boast
are not testimonies sub-lime
to prove the things we love the most;
but how we spend our time
I thought of you the other day
And how you used to kiss me
Before you turned and walked away
Limes always do this to me
If life hands you its lemons
Then make some lemonade
If it hands you limes instead
Drizzle it on bean-salad
(it really is delicious on bean salad)
Do not keep score of failures
It is a waste of time
Sometimes life is the gravy
And sometimes salt and lime

:) - very good, Janet! Nice take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteNice; tasty; delicious. Love the metaphors. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Earlybird and Glynis, I'm not sure if I adhered to all the rules in the prompt(no adjectives, adverbs or similes) but I had some light-hearted fun:)
ReplyDeleteI went into hysterics when read, "Drizzle it on bean-salad." Talk about a change in direction. I'm still laughing.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was kind of a nasty turn, wasn't it? I didn't really laugh though:) I have to confess I kinda cringe when I read it, but oh well...If it can't be good old fun once in a while then why bother, right?
