Opening Milk Cartons--Opening Hearts

Milk cartons, hard to open?
           Once made, of sturdy wax,
           Now they are weak and lax.
           I only speak for California!
           It may be just me?
           I am trying to warn ya!

           Almost as bad as having false 
           poet friends.
           Their excuses for not reading me,  
           never ends!
           I know my poetry is not the best.
           But these friends fall all over poetry, 
           that is far from best!

           Good grief....

If I open the milk carton on the first try... I feel its going to be a good day. As the song says, "You have a friend in me." Have a great day.

Hello Panagiota, yes some milk cartons are hared to open. sometimes i open them the wrong wayI do not know why some poets are . I just tape it and open the other end. I do not know why some poets are like that towards you. Like tom says they know who they are. Hugs Darlene xx

Hello Darlene. It's not any poets fault)) I just am PISCES and overly sensitive. Cartons are made in the same country that gave us Wuhan. I bought some combs from them and all broke in two weeks. Some piets as Tom said, know who they are. I cannot spend hours commenting much as I want to. Vision problems, period. Life moves on. I will turn my SOUPMAIL on later today. It went goofy a few days ago. Hugs, Pangie xx

Some containers you need to be like the terminator to open others fall apart. As for your poet friends, well they know who they are, we'll see who stops by Tom

Containers here are like Kleenex I know who stops by))) I am dismayed by all the "I Love Yous" and b.s.the non reads of friemdsi. Dishonesty, insincerity does not sit well wuth me at all. It never has or will. Those people I hope avoid me. You are not on thar category.. Pangie xx
