Having It All

Having it both ways 
is simple it seems.
Eating the cake 
and having a huge yummy piece.

Push it away. 
If you can.
It really taste so good.
Look! You've just emptied the whole giant pan.

Let me have some.
Please, can you share?
Just a small little taste.
You will if you really care.

Please don't deprive me.
I really need some.
I'm having withdrawals.
Why cant you share the fun?

So, there you are 
having it all to yourself.
Leaving me hungry,
all by myself.

I should have known,
that's how it goes.
Sacrifice never pays off
as everyone knows.

This fits a variety of situations. Love it. One exception - a large pan of magic brownies. One or two is quite enough. Congrats on the selection. Dave
