Epiphany

For every single buttered bun,
there comes a simple ques-ti-ON:
Should I have another one?

My answer came, and it would stun:
when everything is said and done,
acid reflux is not fun.

Aint it great being acid reflux age? So much about aging that one must laugh at or buy a gun. I just love that having a clean house only involves taking my glasses off. So glad I have you to assist with the laughter part. Very funny, cute and needed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Yup, so true… Love the rhyming and overemphasis of line 1 and 2!
