Instant Mashed Potatoes
I know you were mine, if only for an instant, but then,
you remembered you like the kind made from scratch.
Oh, how I wanted to be whipped up fluffy with no lumps,
but there was no time.
So you added my flakes to the boiling water, and stirred me
until I became thick and gooey with love,
with kisses warm and buttery,
your life's gravy poured upon me.
Mmmm. Yum. A flake of my life.
May I please give you another helping?
Someday?
I know I can be better.
I want to be peeled, sliced, boiled, mashed and served up, piping hot,
and when you sit down at the table you will look at me
with hunger in your eyes, and you will say,
Now THAT'S the way I like her!
