(From November 2018 through March 2019, I wrote one poem a day for 100 days at my Facebook page. While I get my act together to return to ranking things, I will be reprinting the poems here. I’m currently writing another 100 poems. Rankings will resume soon)
I had to dump sugar after a lengthy affair
And told white bread “it’s not you, it’s me”
Pasta and I are still not speaking
I stopped sneaking off with M&Ms
Yogurt walked out on me over my protests
I learned bananas were seeing other people
Dairy products still flirt from afar
(But they never come home with me anymore)
When I walk past popcorn, tears fill my eyes
And meat dishes have stopped texting back
Vegetables love me but I don’t feel the passion
I guess I won’t play the wild rover no more
