Not Like the Other

Opened the cupboard what a find Dented can deep in behind All by its self pushed to the side Sadly like that meaning to hide Like the rest but different yes sure Reinforced rimed made to endure Went a bit sideways began to roll Hit the floor went for a stroll Came to a stop wooden boarder Picked up again left like a hoarder Now you are found what to do Have to choose soup or the stew Need the sustenance dented one Another problem could be for some No clear markings missing your label Dented can will not make table 12/30/2017

oh my, that poor dented can just doesn't have a chance. I love how you ended it, he does not even have a label!! I buy sometimes the dented cans because they mark them down so cheap but my daughter in law told me that bacteria starts to form and that 's why they sell them fast. Gosh, I hope I don't ever get sick from one of those dented can's food!

I think today they are coated inside to prevent that from happening. Don't tell the retailer and run with the good prices, thanks for the look.

Great metaphor Ronald I felt sorry for the poor can pushed to one side because it was dented and different - reminded me of some of the kids i worked with who were shunned because they were different and they were isolated and lonely:-( good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx
