Salt 'n' Pepper
Once they met on the kitchen top,
when pepper suddenly greeted salt
"hello my friend, how are you?
and how's your family and life too?"
"never I would talk to a fool like you
did u ever mean to see to whom you're talking too?
look at my color, all pure white
have u ever seen such a fascinating sight?
i am even good in taste
you know,
in every single food
I am put in so
what is your value,
you might not even know
its not even worth compatible
it is so low
you are so terrible,
you make people sneeze,
I think you should rather die,
oh God please!
have you ever seen your color so dark,
just like as if its a wooden tree bark?
that's all I have got to say my foe,
I will not talk to you and i mean it so."
pepper at once said to salt,
"Dear friend, why is it only my fault?
you are also not even better than me
and this can be proved if you listen to me...
have you ever examined yourself,
you disappear when
water drops on the
kitchen shelf?
unlike you, I am unique of the lot
cuz I'm not of your sort
I don't vanish when water drops
nor my life pauses as your stops
i admit your taste
is good,
but health is more important
than taste should
you raise the bloodpressure,
and cause many defaults,
so what's the use of good taste,
my dear salt?
and when put on a wound,
you make it worse
oh, instead of a blessing,
you are a curse!"
and while all this was happening,
besides them sugar was listening
at once, he came into sight
"salt and pepper, there is nothing to fight!
everything has its own importance you know
how much you ignore, it will remain so
now listen to this my dear friends,
and your quarrel will soon come to an end
"white stars and black sky
at night
black is incomplete
without white!"
