Short and sweet for me this week, Maureen ... well, short and savoury, anyway!

HAPPY LITTLE ...
(c) Shelley Hansen 7/11/16

There is a jar of something with an old familiar taste
that's good right to the very last, without a drop of waste.
It lives inside my fridge, and it's a window to the soul
for just a taste can change a mood, bring focus to a goal.

So when they catch you wearing your sad heart upon your sleeve,
when, weighed down with frustration, you are craving a reprieve,
or when your heart is bleeding and you think romance is dead ...
just grab a jar of Vegemite! Let's see you smile, instead!

Good one - the taste of that always takes you back to your childhood I reckon - for the first time in yonks I made some Vegemite sandwiches the other day, immediately my thoughts flew back to school days. Certainly does put a smile on the dial

Thanks Maureen. Yes, imagine if we'd been born in Siberia or somewhere where they don't have Vegemite! Think of what we'd have missed out on!

Cheers
Shelley
