Sandwich


Collect something from everyone,
Everyone you meet:
What to do; what not to do;
The grub you like to eat.

I knew a fellow once
Who ate marmite with his cheese,
Marmalade and peanut butter:
All together, if you please!

There was a certain order
To that bedsit on a plate;
(You could even add some lettuce)
It was tongue-tastically great!

Collect something from everyone
Albeit tweak it just a bit!
Lessons in us all:
Even in a little shit!

Collect something from everyone:
It can’t but do you good.
Collect something from everyone:
I really think you should!

 
The order of the sandwich was bread, butter, marmite, (lettuce), cheese, marmalade, peanut butter, bread.

Nice poem, I agree, we definitely can take something from each person we come into contact with, directly or indirectly. There is a lesson to be learned always, and apply it to our self growth journey. That sandwich looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted

Health-giving bitters to aid digestion?

I love Swedish bitters, I made a litre using herbs and gin. It's good for shrinking spots fast too.

I don't see the point of the lettuce...

lol-for the ladies, folic acid ;)

I love poems that have some rhymes - I am old school like that :D

Thanks, I write all styles.

I can hear this as a children song in my head :)

Yes, I think you're right. Though the bedsit part would confuse them!
