IF LIFE CAME WITH FORTUNE COOKIES








Say you could order only
that which you truly desired
The same way you might
when ordering take-out
Chinese food

Say you would only get
the sweet things,
suggesting you would
like to pass on the sour

But really, does anyone
ever only get sweet
Don't we all want a bit
of sour to take
the edge off all that
sugary sweetness

One could overdose
on too much goo
and goodness
Become diabetic
if you think about it

Throw in some sour
somethings...
Or how about this
Sweet 'n sour
chicken balls....
Then you have it all

Isn't that what most
of us want -
To have it all...
