No Jam

And what was it the poet said
Should I put Jelly on my Bread?

His words you see are bitter sweet
and here I dare not words repeat.

And shame on me for believing so
but shame on you for letting go! 

When evening comes I'll eat a feast
with Turkey Ham to say the least.

And please forgive me if your able
there will be no Jam here at this table. 

And please forgive the lack of bread
I'll eat my humble pie instead...

no big deal... I never know what is true or not... that should be a compliment to the author. ;)

Don't blame yourself for believing what someone wrote, Sharon. We all get taken in by words bitter, sweet and bittersweet. Pass the humble pie this way and we can indulge together. Love, Carolyn
