To the Post-It Notes!

lighthearted fun -an ode to the little things that make life sweet

 

This one goes to the post-it note

and sweet gulps of coke

I propose a toast to paper plates

for giving wrinkled dish water hands a break

and to the creator of keys and locks

to keep sticky hands and stupid a*s ex boyfriends

out of my house!

I’m not ashamed to say

I’d kiss the lips of the genius

who gave us socks

those soft cozy covers

that keep my little toes safe

from the cold

pj’s and underwear

wonder bras

and coffee mugs

to microwaves

which heat the all mighty hot pocket

and toaster ovens to cook everything else

bachelor’s and college students owe you their life

which brings us to ramen noodles

the cheapest piece of crap soup you can buy

but it’s mmm so good

lets not forget the peanut butter and jelly sandwich

and macaroni and cheese

the savor of mothers who don’t know

what the heck to feed their children

that they will actually eat

oh yes, I’ve been there

and finger foods have saved me many

hours of sleeplessness

and trips off the couch in the middle of my favorite t.v. shows

“mommy I’m hungry”

“go grab a cheese stick honey”

those who laugh have been there before

 

But most of all

thank you

THANK YOU

to the post it note

which reminds me every day

to take out the trash

to pay my bills

to pick up milk

 

I appreciate the little things you do

 

this poem is for the posties! I heart you!

Dang man how old are? Your picture appears like 16 maybe but you write older than you are. This was very funny and amusing. Something to send somebody when their having a bad day.

haha! such a very gripping poem.

i love how this is a salute to college madness! the elegance among simple syntax is what i like most about all of this.

the timelessness of scholastic melodrama at its best. superb work! one of the best contemporary works i've read in a while.

i could really relate to most ideas conveyed in this one. kudos for a poem well-written!
