Free Banana

We stopped for gas; the mini-mart Was advertising wares. I wasn’t hungry, had no thirst And so I thought, who cares? But then a sign jumped out at me; I wondered – is it true? Just buy this brand of water And we’ve got a gift for you – A free banana! I said, Huh? This seems a bit surreal. But hey, I guess, to some at least, There must be some appeal!

That's a great poem because it totally captures how there is wonder in the simple things that occur in our lives.

Lots of potassium with your water plus a sugar high. Blessings eve 7
