Another Fortune Cookie's Advice

a sonnet for an old stoner friend

The fortune 

cookie told me :

"You are unwhole

and you will be

until you've eaten

a fresh eggroll."

So of course

I downed one

to save my soul

In each thing in life

look for it's role

Now I think I'll

look for my bowl

and some donut holes.

Giggling here. This is so adorable! The rhyming is super and the playfulness is great. Uniquely you, Jim. Lydi**

Thanks Lydi**. Sometimes I forget to have fun writing, so I do something like this. ~Jim
