Flavour of the Day
I sent my muse on summer vacation
Returning today after such relaxation
Was she up to a challenge or reluctant somehow
I said, “Muse what can you come up with now?”
She retorted back in somewhat of a dither at first
Saying “give me a subject, if you must quench your thirst”
I thought for a moment of a word more confusing
Something that would get to the heart of her musing
I said, “ Ok then let us begin with a word for thought
A word with a citrus tang both sweet and sour” I taunt
So she replied back in haste “ alright then shoot”
And I answered, “My word of the day be, Grapefruit”
She pondered it mindfully at her leisure
Then reported back to me that it is a pleasure
To think back to days of chewing gum
Grapefruit flavoured, pink fun. Yum!
Blowing those bubbles as big as can be
Grapefruit bubble gum reminds
My Muse
Of Me!
