The Life That
Could Have Been
I am tempted by
two delicious things,
the pina colada
and the round, wet, fresh, grapes.
Both are present
in my picnic basket
I packed for
this African Safari.
I suppose there
is no need to choose one.
That is like
deciding between buying
a mystery van or
a brown shag rug.
Both are
disgusting and no longer bought,
so you would end
up with neither of them.
Cans of paint
are bodies of water, but
not natural like
an ocean or a lake.
Can’t open
either with can openers.
Muhammad could
open up an ocean,
he would find a
way to with a horse shoe.
Kareem
Abdul-Jabber would open, too
but the paint
can with his solid man-grip.
I know plenty of
planets have some moons.
My favorite
planets is Neptune, some how,
which is unlike
my favorite food, coffee.
Yes, that was a
great cop out. Very classy.
Periwinkle
overlaps my color.
It’s good to
know what periwinkle is,
which could be
the color of dinosaurs,
but peacock
feather print would be better.
I am thankful I
am not in So Cal.
My sister tried
living there years ago.
it was almost a
train wreck. That is steep
and she never
took any trains rides there.
I really have a
calico kitty
that chases ants
and eats everyone’s socks.
