Salty and Sweet

Sometimes I crave something salty And other times yearn for a sweet. It’s not that my circuits are faulty, The cycle needs both to complete. So after a bowl full of cherries, Some pretzels come into the mix. Inside of me, both hop on ferries, Awaiting the next of my picks. Pistachio nuts or some gummies? Fresh popcorn? A licorice bite? All species of salt or sweet yummies May travel within by tonight. I’m sure that my sugar-sweet cravings Are not all that strange or unique, Just one of those stuck-home behavings That help us survive week to week.

I suspect working at home has become quite a weighty issue! Aloha! Rico

Very well said and well done Ilene. We all get those cravings especially when stuck at home. Just watch the scales though. God Bless, JB
