Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

One of These Things Is Not Like the Others

Ambrosia. Food of the gods.
Yummy huh? I can taste the salad with pineapple and coconut.
Ambrosial…. delicious, sweet smelling.
Makes me think of dark chocolate, and still wonderful.
Ambrosian chant….singing introduced by St. Ambrose, about 384.
But then there is 
Ambrasiaceous
Related to ragweed
Sneezing
Flaring up of asthma
Hay fever
Running nose
Itchy eyes
Misery and despair
Something needs to be issued a different name, right?
It just does not fit in with the others.
One of them is not the same.
Think Sesame Street, I always do.
