The Vending Machine

                                                                          THE VENDING MACHINE

In a canteen factory

stands a single vending machine

That once so full of goodies

But now the shelves are clean

Gone are all the sandwiches

No more pasta pots

All the chocolate bars now eaten

And soft drink empty slots

Apart from a lonely yogurt

Rejected both night and day

People spin the carousel

But no one dares to stay

It stands there hoping to tempt

Wishing for some to take a chance

But they all want something else

Never giving it a second glance

Doing it's best to look so fruity

Sitting all alone on it's shelf

Why don't you give me a try

I'm oh so good for your health

No one wants this yoghurt

It's still within it's best buy date

There's nothing more that it can do

is just sit there and wait

You know, I find this cute! I love poems written about just things you see every day. LOL It was fun to read! :)

Glad you enjoyed it.Came to me while I was cleaning a canteen factory and that's all that was in the machine. Thanks for your kind comments
