Roadie Poet: Pretzels

It took some planning
but I got a Valentine’s Day present
For More.

A new Sharpie.
A beaded lanyard she’ll dig.
And a
bag
of
pretzels.

I taped the Sharpie
onto the lanyard for her.
Gave it to her that way.

She looked it over.
Said it was cool.

Looked sorta sad.

I handed over the bag
of
pretzels.

She squealed and hugged
.
.
.
.
.
.
the pretzels.

Then
she hugged me.

And
the
pretzels.

Okay, I thought.
I’d hoped for better.
but it seems

I’ve lost my girl
to a bag
of
pretzels.

    Roadie Poet finds himself in such strange situations. I always look forward to an RP post, though. When’s the RP Anthology coming out? ;-)

    Awww, poor Roadie Poet, that the pretzels got the first hug, and RP had to share the second!

    Haha!

    Man, you not only write good poetry, but you manage to put humor on it, wow.

    There’s only one problem: now I’m hungry.

    I like Roadie Poet. You know I’ve never understood the allure of pretzels. We don’t really have them over here. Now if it was chocolate I’d totally understand!
