Be Careful What You Wish For

The banana turns from green to yellow.

"Don't be sad you little fellow,

Turning shades is what you do.

Soon you'll be another hue."

The banana began to turn a frown.

"I just don't want to turn all brown!

Please help me from this rotten fate!"

So then, per request, the banana I ate.

Brewing in My Brain

I’ve got a little thought that’s been brewing in my brain
Like a tiny coffee bean, ground and placed upon a flame
A little percolator is really all it needs
To grow into its place here in reality

This little thought is brewing; it takes some time you know
For such a timid thought to be tended so it grows
With time and some attention, this thought may brew to be
A grand idea, perhaps an invention to help society
A poem or words of wisdom, a story, quote or trend
The possibilities, they may simply never end

So next time a thought is brewing, humor me if you will
Take time to place your mug out to see how it might fill
These gentle whispers, nudges, & ideas they come and go
If we do not pay them attention, the world will never know
Of these tiny little treasures that started off so small
They could have brewed into fruition, to influence us all
