lukewarm.

Posted on March 21, 2017 by beth

Standard

how excited was i

when i discovered

that my local mcdonald’s

chose to give me this special cup?!

what a statement this was

what a compliment

they must have been waiting

for just the right customer to come along

this lid was like a badge of honor

clearly written in two languages

for all the world to see

i carried it with pride

as i went to add my cream

and it was then

that i noticed

that it had come from

a huge sleeve of coffee cup lids

all carrying the exact same message.

clearly written

in two languages.

“when you’re hot, you’re hot; when you’re not, you’re not.”

I doubt you let that put a lid on your exuberance for life. I concur with Colleen that you possess many degrees of hotness:)

But I think every lid was talking about you. At least they should have been 🙂

I loved your excitement! I was happy for a Flip Wilson quote which I never knew he started this common refrain from my friends’ and my mouths, more than once.
I was dismayed, one of the regular lids everyone gets. Too bad. . . sad but not defeated!!
