Salt and Pepper

Too much salt
Too much pepper
Spoil the broth
Neither is better.

LIFE is short
a magazine,
picturesque,
not obscene.

Used to read a large magazine, all about LIFE!  It has shrunk over the years and is no longer the large icon

Why I wrote this as two disjointed thoughts eludes me. I remember the ditty, What is Life? A magazine. How much does it cost? It costs 15 cents. But, I've only got a nickle. That's tough. What's tough? Life! What's life? A magazine ...(round and round) I suppose with salt and pepper we have them is such constant usage that we can easily go round and round and use too much. To much salt is dehjydrating and too much pepper makes us sneeze.
