My life is like a box of chocolate..

Painting by John Torrey, my very good friend from my California days





















My life
is like a box of chocolate

I never know what I´am going to get
I linger over the sweetest and prettiest of boxes
Finger in mouth eyes shining
Trying to work out Which?
which one is the sweetest
with the least bitter taste
You have but one quick choice
and the box is passed on
to your fellow passengers..
Make a choice now!
Hurry up!
But this doesn´t help you a bit
when you realize that
The sweet and pretty box
was passed on a long time ago
And you missed your chances
during this silly greedy time of
calculation.
