Unhappy Plate

choices??

Unhappy plate

 

Two plates happily together, right from the start

Now, one preferred a meatball, the other a tart

They had been together, since the start of their days

Now they were to go off, on their separate ways

 

Strange how a diet can be so obtuse

Now each for the other, had simply no use

The plate with its meatball, went onto the table

The tart, on the other, on a lap, there less stable

 

No problems on the table were seen to ensue

But the plate with the tart, on a lap went askew

Onto the floor, there now broken and more

A true case of horror and gore, to simply abhor

 

Had they stayed together, as had before

Would not have happened, that on the floor

Just for the sake of a meatball and tart

Their time together, is now forever apart

As usual, your imagination is off the charts! This reminds me of the first time I was promoted to work in corporate engineering, all fancy-schmancy, & at the first potluck I dumped a whole plate of food across my b***s! So for me, you've penned a very believable scenario! Please never get serious! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

There is often much sorrow in parting, but this is extreme. All because of a menu disagreement, one now lies shattered! Oh, well, she was a tart. Are we getting silly yet?

I guess it is on the fringe but the truth is, I don't enjoy being serious

Both of the choices are tasty and filled with goodness...but, they're DIFFERENT CHOICES!
Two passengers in a boat can't row towards two different ways at a time....A relationship resembles this boat for me...
It's so innovative of you to present such a meaningful piece....Loved the imagery indeed! Be blessed :)

Hello Tahzin
Is it possible that one of the rowers could have longer oars and be more powerful, seems like that happens in many relationships, but then the other rower could have much more stamina, and regain all that was lost and much more (ie. the turtle vs the hare thingy) !!
Such a complicated situation this relationship business
My wife just tells me what to do, which eliminates all our problems

Oh yes indeed, lessons in relationships here. What fun meatballs and tarts. Well they do say a bit of variety spices things up nicely. Too much of the same, and all that. Love your poem, it has so much humour in it as well as a message :))
