It’s the little things that count so much, <br />while many things are awfully overrated. <br />Would you rather have a Rolex watch or..... <br />an enema when you are constipated? <br /> <br />Or a toothbrush when you teeth feel grungy? ‘Cause..... <br />brushes work better that watches....at removing fungi! <br /> <br />And life with no bike may seem like “small potatoes”, <br />but at times it’s like a BLT sans sliced tomatoes. <br />Air-polluting vehicles certainly have their place, <br />but in rush hour traffic a bike may win the race. <br /> <br />And two dozen red roses may seem quite nice, <br />or a flute of champagne from a bottle kept on ice, <br />BUT once you’ve had that AND still been divorced twice, <br />a loving smile and a peck on the cheek should more than suffice. <br /> <br />SO.... I guess I should replace with “Big” my title’s “Little”, <br />since, if you’ve suffered with “Dry Mouth”, you’ve craved spittle. <br />AND if you’ve had that or something like that happen to you..... <br />you’ll agree “Big” is the adjective for which this poem’s title is due. <br /> <br />(November 7,2013)<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-things-my-excuse-for-not-giving-roses-etc-humour-humor/
