Salty and Sweet

Sometimes I crave something salty

And other times yearn for a sweet.

It’s not that my circuits are faulty,

The cycle needs both to complete.

 

So after a bowl full of cherries,

Some pretzels come into the mix.

Inside of me, both hop on ferries,

Awaiting the next of my picks.

 

Pistachio nuts or some gummies?

Fresh popcorn? A licorice bite?

All species of salt or sweet yummies

May travel within by tonight.

 

I’m sure that my sugar-sweet cravings

Are not all that strange or unique,

Just one of those stuck-home behavings

That help us survive week to week.
