Condiments
Husbands and Wives
Friends and Lovers
Ketchup and Mustard
Pickles and Mayo
Oh the condiments of life
Some have expiration dates
Others go on for a lifetime
All have a place on the shelf
The interesting part
Is deciding when its time
To clear the shelf
And bring in something new
I like ketchup and mustard
Not so much into mayo
I keep some salad dressing
But that’s about it
Some people have a hard time letting go
Their condiments are their life
And they keep them on the shelf
Until each jar is empty
Others just clear the decks
And toss it all to the wind
Mustard, Ketchup, Husbands and Wives
Everything must go
Except for the last bottle of wine
The one that has just a little bit left
That one is special
Because that one has the last sip
And the last sip
Trumps all condiments
It has a life of its own
And proposal for those that imbibe
