Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

An Equal Amount of Blueberries

Take a look at your muffin, and look at mine.
This is a scenario that doesn’t appear fine.
This morning, we are off to an awful start.
There are no blueberries in mine while yours is falling apart.
You have to admit this is a terrible sight.
I have to do everything myself to make sure it’s done right.

I want an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin here.
I don’t care how long it takes.  Do I make myself clear?
I am appalled to see all of the negatives going on.
If you do not comply with my wishes, then you are gone.

And by the way, fire that slots manager jerk.
My place is not where I want him to work.
He doesn’t show the least amount of competency.
I don’t care if he’s juiced in.  To me, he is history.

Based on the 1995 film “Casino”

Sara Kendrick May 6, 2013 at 6:05 AM That would be a bummer to not get one's share of the blueberries..Enjoyed reading your work this morn..It made me hungry for blueberries..Thanks for stopping by..I looked up Joe Valino? singing his song "In The Garden Of Eden"..It lacked something but I believe that the man could have done really well...I think that it was the music that the song was set to..Thanks for sharing that information..Sara..Oh! I finished my poem..

Eileen Manassian May 5, 2013 at 9:39 AM So glad for the explanation at the end because I was starting to think that you are VERY demanding of your poor wife! ;) I know..presumptions, but how was I to know better? Interesting read. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the movie, but this was a good sneek peek!
