Life Is Like a Pizza Pie

Your life is like a pizza pie, With wisdom you should long or yearn; It is not just a food to eat, But also a lesson to learn. With different sizes it is Available just anywhere; When you leave your house to buy one, As you return it is a square. Eager to see the bread inside, The package with care you handle; The moment you open the box, What you have found is a circle. It's so hard to turn a blind eye To this tasty, delightful dough; As you begin eating a piece, It's triangle, you ought to know. Constant change is in the world, From good reason to alibi; Your behavior improves in time, Your life is like a pizza pie.

This clever poem draws parallels between life and the experience of obtaining a pizza. The poem's voice thinks he's getting a square, because that's what his eyes obviously tell him. But then SURPRISE when he opens the box, it's actually a circle, but then changes yet again to ANOTHER shape, when his slice is a triangle. This is very much the way life goes! We keep discovering we had it wrong, don't we! It can be frustrating. I have marked this as a favorite. It's a smart, funny poem, Bernard!

Just love the wonderful aroma of pizzas, but unfortunately am gluten intolerant, so one of the few indulgences that I had to give up. Love the comparison to Life.
