The box and the bone...

You gave me a box
with a bone inside
I kept it
but I often wondered
just how unromantic
you can truly be

The past few days
have been disorderly
and I thought of you
the box and the bone

As I opened the box
and held that bone
I laughed out loud
upon realising
it was a wishing bone

I snapped it in two
made a wish
hope it comes true
and thank you

good one

Many thanks raskin...

brings back many memories...

When I was a child, we always fought over the wishing bones. How I wish I could be there again. Your poem is very whimsical and wise. How important those things are and we don't realize it until we're much older. Thanks!
