“Coffee, Salt, Cookie” ( A Poem)

by Anton Martin Smith antonmartinsmithwrites@gmail.com

You can’t put a Cookie in a Coffee or vice versa

You can’t put salt on a Cookie or vice versa

You can’t put salt in Coffee or vice versa

Therefore if you have all three you must enjoy them all independently

Or have none of them

Or have two of them and not one

Or one of them & not the other two.

Most people would have the Coffee & the Cookie but not the Salt.

Some would have the Coffee but neither the cookie or the Salt.

Less than some would have the Cookie & leave the Coffee (& the Salt).

BUT there will be one very interesting (figurative) CAT –

That eats the Salt & leaves the Coffee & The Cookie.

This person will either be a madman, an artist, or a genius or perhaps all three.
