Filled with yummyness from the start
Capped shut and sealed
Left alone in a store for quite some time
Hoping to be picked up
And sipped for a taste or two
Then one day you came along
Gave me a hug
With all five fingers, not just a few
And broke my seal
Screaming from the pain of being broken open
As air from inside gushed out
Forgetting about
What had truly been inside of me
The realization hurt
Yet I was in your caring hands
Much warmer than any
Machine
Stocker
Or Shelf
Drying my tears
I believe you liked the taste
From the smile upon your face
If soda bottles could smile
If soda bottles had a face
I would be smiling right back at you.
Inspiration from the first date with current boyfriend over a year ago.

"Oh, So Greedy"
Anonymous
Hedge fund manager - earned over a billion in a year - indeed!
Really now, how much money does one person need?!
How many mouths could the super rich feed,
Yet the poor and misfortunate suffer and bleed.
Every dollar earned just plants another seed,
Avarice and money lust it does breed.
Warning after warning, when will we heed,
Moral and economic collapse - the result of greed.
Let's all make a vow . . .
Wait . . .
Just a minute . . .
Okay, alright! I confess, I confess to everyone,
When the lottery hit $600 million I bought a ticket and I'd have
taken the money if I'd have won.
