Placed on the table of good thoughts
Was yesterdays mashed potatoes.
They seemed to be no different
Had I just mashed them now.
Yet the first bite
Would let you know
They were not fresh potatoes.
Like life, looks can fool.
Let us be ourselves.
In the long run, you fool no one.
But to deceive ourselves,
Is the biggest deception of all.
as always, well said, thought provoking poem
Never stop writing

Love ya!
