An Ode to Sticky Notes

Oh, sticky notes, how I do I love thee?

Let me count the ways

One - you're so sticky and just so cute

Two - you're my friend that always stays

Three - you never talk too much

Because like some people, you're mute

*

Oh, my precious sticky notes

You're a lifelong friend

I knew you when I was younger before I had to work

You were so much fun back then

But now I need you to keep me straight

And prevent me from being a jerk

*

Oh, my sweet, sweet sticky notes

I put you all over my desk drawer

So pure and colorful and clean

You're on my mirror and on my door

I can't imagine life without you

From you I cannot myself wean

**Note from the writer- please do not hurt yourself trying to figure out what kind of rhyme scheme this is - I'm pretty sure "A,B,C,B,D,C" doesn't actually exist.

An Ode to Pepperoni Pizza Combos

I remember the day I discovered you
Spying you from afar
I was on my way to Chicago
My mom yelling "Get in the car"

I can't believe I didn't know you
Until the age of 25
But since my first bite of you
I've never felt more alive

Chips be damned and Fritos
You are dead to me
I have never been so happy
As with a bag of Combos at my knee

Despite my will of iron
I eat you way too quick
I'd never be without you
If I had that option to pick

I can't buy you in Chicago
You're very hard to find
But please be assured, my Combos
You're never far from my mind
