"Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?"
Please write your experience with any situation when you decided that the effort required was NOT worth the anticipated results. Any format.
Bad Bananas
Billy Bananas donned his pajamas
and sauntered ’round the bowl,
past Pinky Peach and Mon Cherries
with their devilishly pitted souls.
Billy made his way ’round the crowded tray
’til he came upon Apri Cott;
she with luscious curves, pinkish verve,
and a seam that was smokin‘ hot!
Billy said, “Baby? What say we maybe,
split from this fruity fun?
I like you a lot, so let’s find a spot,
to unpeel and reveal my big pun.”
She replied, “Billy, Billy! Quit being silly,
I‘ll not be the jam on your bread.
Imagine the nerve! That I’d spread like preserves?
For a plantain with a stem for a head!
(So sorry… sometimes we cannot help but to follow where the prompt leads us.)
