Today I became very disappointed and mad <br />A person I once considered to be a friend <br />let me down without notice... she was dishonest <br />bringing my feelings of compassion to an end <br /> <br />I was stunned… depressed and in an angry state <br />Blood pressure was rising…how can I defuse it <br />A thought came to mind…I'll make potato salad <br />Maybe the process with force my temper to quit <br /> <br />Selecting large potatoes and bringing to a boil <br />Turning up the heat… but never loosing control <br />Cooled with a rush of frigid cold tap water <br />Peel off the thin skins and set aside in a bowl <br /> <br />Add a little crunch and color… don't forget mayo <br />Remove shells of boiled eggs…look for mustard <br />bread and butter pickles and pimento stuffed olives <br />celery and onion… cut and chop… now restructure <br /> <br />Mix with hands if a spoon seems to be inadequate <br />Don't be too eager to call it a day…hold on...wait <br />Adorn with slices of yolk centered circles on top <br />Sprinkle with paprika…now cover and refrigerate <br /> <br />By time the flavors mellow… calmness will be found <br />I'll be sampling the concoction with favorable insight <br />Preparing food for consumption… refocuses attention <br />Screaming energy… transforms into a flavorful delight <br /> <br />9/16/2010<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behavior-modification-potato-salad-pacification/
