To Be or Not To Be... Vanilla

 I hereby testify that on this date of August 17, 2019

my (truck-driver) husband (in case you wonder why he calls) did call 

and not need to ask at all 

what I was doing (because he could guess)
because nine mornings out of ten I write...

and he did state that 

I am a different cat 

but he wouldn't change a thing 

or I would 'just be vanilla'.

I then thereby did respond that I will put his statement in writing 

as evidence that he did

on this day declare such a thing

and that I will bring it to his remembrance at such a time

when his opinion could justifiably differ!😊😂😜

...okay, enough silliness!

Here's to today's flavours and colours!

The first one I choose is coffee black!

To love or hate

Condemn, applaud

To trust in fate

Or gracious God

To pray a while

Or fret and fear

To sing and smile

Or shed a tear

To dash or stroll

Believe or doubt

Give half or whole

Give thanks or pout

To bless or curse

Deny, confess

For better-worse

For more or less

To be yourself

Or to compare

To dust the shelf

Or sit and stare

To stray or veer

Or stay the course

To crush or cheer

To free or force

To gripe or dance

With gratitude

Part circumstance

Most attitude
