PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It’s been waiting

I don’t know how long

for you to come around

and take it off my hands.

It was yours before you even knew

that something nice was sitting

in my care

until you get here.

It’s been alone awfully long,

carefully wrapped,

protected from microscopic scavengers.

You’d better come get it,

and take me with you,

or I’ll be coerced by better judgment

to act on its behalf,

and eat it up with someone else

to share in its deliciousness.

So you’d better hurry!

It’s urgent!

I’m sure you’ll agree

in mouthfuls.
