The dilemma between two sides!

The dilemma between two sides!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

When I drank 
from the bottle called
Johnny Walker Whiskey,
was the bottle
half empty or half full?

The pessimists would say
its half empty,
while the optimists would say
it's half full.
A realist like me would say
fill it half way and add ice.

But then the extraordinary happened
the glass that held the elixir of gold
fell off the table and broke.

I was left with the dilemma.
Is the glass half broken?
Or is the glass half fixed?

there is of course always two sides to everything.. the right side and her side.. both being precisely the same thing.... tho being a surrealist, I would say .. don't put all your whiskey in the same banana... N :)

Delighted by your presence, your comments priceless my friend lol.
I'm more thinking, is your missus going to half kill you for making that mess, or just kill you.
