“It’s this newfangled thing
Come on, we have to try it!”

“I’m not liking what I see,
Not sure I want to buy it!”

“It’s a cupcake in a mug,
But you don’t get to drink it”

“Looks a little odd to me,
You might want to rethink it.”

“Now, don’t be a silly nilly
All we need to do is bake it”

“Am I supposed to like this?
‘Cause I don’t think I can fake it.”

“Trust me, you’ll love this
Would I ever steer you wrong?”

“Well, there was this time when…”

“Okay, let’s move along!”

“Patty, I don’t understand you,
Why must you try this thing?”

Well, Gerry, how I see it, is
It might make my taste buds sing.”

“Let’s hope that’s all it does
Or you’ll scare away the neighbors”

“Very funny, ha ha ha,
So will you try this flavor?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll give it a try,
And pray it’s the last one you ever buy…”

#FridayFantasy ~ The Upper Hand – #poetry

I set the bottle free
Into the ocean’s roar
Hoping that my message
Would land upon the shore

My boat went quickly under
The umbrella my only save
I thought for sure that I would sink
Down to my watery grave

But alas, I am still floating
I haven’t met my demise
Praying that someone will find me
Before the fiery sun dies

Yet, should I never be found
Sailing on this liquid land
Then I shall float upon this boat
And prove the upper hand

Dear John, I began

It is time to call it quits

There is nothing left

We never talk anymore

I cannot go on like this

Wrapped inside a hardened shell

An iridescent gem does dwell

Hidden deep, beneath the sea

Yet, not much larger than a pea

Begins, when oysters take offense

Triggering layers, of self defense

Fighting, to make its bed just right

As such, creates this luminous sight

Which sets a woman’s heart awhirl

Ah, the beauty, of a cultured pearl
