Cheeto on the Ground

An age old question that no one wants to talk about

I just dropped a Cheeto on the ground.

No one saw it

No one sees anything I do in here; I always shut my door. 

The music bothers them

From country to classic to classical to gangster rap to just weird stuff that no one knows except me and the artist

It's my own personal mix

Jam's A La Dani

Thanks Pandora, for understanding

So.... about this Cheeto

I'm out of Cheetos, see

I've eaten the last of them

The only things left are Twizzlers, which I'm not in the mood for

And gum

Not for eating

The floor has been vacuumed

And it's in a spot under the desk where my feet don't go

It's probably clean

Maybe a little dusty

But I can blow it off, right?

I'm negotiating with myself right now

It's not that I'm hungry

I just really like Cheetos

And like I said, I'm out

This is the last one

I'll have to investigate

Damn.  Right into a dust ball

I knew the cleaning company wasn't being thorough

But how can I approach the subject

Without letting on that I'm trying to eat this Cheeto off of the floor?

Well, it appears to be ruined anyway

Into the bin you go

OK, I'm not a sore loser, I can accept it

You win this round, delicious Cheeto

We've all done it.

This is funny & astute. First, let me tell you my old saying: "In my house, pet hair is a condiment!" Whether or not I eat dropped food depends on how much pet hair is on it. I don't mind dirt or germs, but the hair kinda has a yukky mouth-feel to it. Secondly, your message can apply to people, as well. In our society, it seems so much easier & more convenient to throw people away rather than to help them dust off their dust balls. Nice bit of playful pondering *wink! wink!*

That is DEEP! People as Cheetos with dust balls... I'll remember that next time I want to eat someone LOL. Haha, that actually did make me laugh! Thanks for checking this out :) XOXO

[barleygirl]

I guess these days people can be discarded for having too much hair . . . judging from the societal obsession with shaving, waxing, & shearing all fuzz before having any fun together! *smile*

[D Connolly]

I really don't understand what that is all about... I'm actually working on something that goes into that very thing! And of course the obsession with thinness. To be continued....

[barleygirl]

Can't wait to see how this one pops out! (((HUGS)))

[Lorry]

Yep, we have. I bet you were staring at it for ages too :)
We have twizzlers hee, but not what you were talking about I think. One is a disgusting turkey thing made with mechanically recovered meat and the other is little fizzy candies. I hope it was the latter you meant :)

[D Connolly]

Cheetos are cheese flavored crunchy crisps

[Lorry]

Oh. We get a similar thing here, we call them wotsits :)

[Valentine]

Laughing, I think we all have that 5 second rule. Valentine

[D Connolly]

Oh heck yeah! As long as it isn't in a dust ball. :)

[Paul Bell]

You just know now, come three in the morning. You're going to get that cheeto.
But, since the five second rule has been broken. You need to ask yourself the question. Did i fire 5 cheetos, or was it six. In all this excitement i just don't know. Do you really listen to country music.

[D Connolly]

I listen to EVERYTHING. I can't limit myself to just one kind of music! There's too much good stuff out there! Glad you liked my funny Cheeto story :)

[Paul Bell]

Brill, dig most stuff except rap.

[D Connolly]

omg I just picked up on the "did I fire 5 Cheetos, or was it 6?" Goofball. Oh, it's been a long day...

[Paul Bell]

Lol. Bed time for you.

[Shy Joe]

Five second rule! I've even had people watch me eat something I recently dropped. If you're not on a first date, it's fair game to me.

[D Connolly]

When I dropped it I had a lot of Cheetos! It was down there for a while

[Hebe]

delightful .... it happens at my dedk at work sometimes.... should I or shouldn't I ... this poem is a pleasant suprise!

[D Connolly]

It's something no one ever seems to talk about; eating food off the floor. But I really think it's an important discussion, and I felt like I needed to bring it up. We're all friends here.

[Hebe]

I agree!.... It put a smile on my face:)

[D Connolly]

Good! I think us artists get too emotional and caught up in writing serious stuff all the time. It's good for me to write about something silly once in a while :)

[Hebe]

Yes we do get caught up in the seriousness of it all...please review Breakfast with Mooshi...I was thinking the same thing when I wrote it !
