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.
