You'll Never Know What You're Gonna Get
A Poem that Celebrates Life's Variety
If you’re a Forrest Gump fan, you’ll know what he says about chocolates.
Yes, life is, indeed, a box of chocolates, with some pieces being, to put it mildly, acquired tastes. But each taste is a significant piece of the puzzles that are our lives. We notice the differences, however subtle, as we take little nibbles.
So enjoy your chocolate (I know I do), and this little poem.

Life unfolds in shades of gold,
The scent of cocoa whispers dreams untold.
Each bite bursts—bitter, yet sweet,
A crunch of surprise with each cocoa treat.
And it melts, its taste remains—complete.

Thief In The Night
To the thief in the night that took and replicated what once was mine: Honestly, I feel kind of bad for you. It’s funny, because we hardly know each other. I only know of you through the magazines you’ve written and the broadcasts you have televised in the past — as well as through the public mentions of you from your show business connections there.
