CANDID CHIMERA

Just a note to say that,
finding the bag where you left it
in the fridge, I, to be candid, ate
the candied dates. What's left
is the pits.

[Note: This is another punny one. It's a take-off on a short poem by William Carlos Williams (see http://www.intertwingled.net/cgi-bin/display_title.cgi?2686&42127&0) called "This is just to say" -- that he's eaten someone's plums. But I wrote mine in a typical election year, in which the choices sucked. So I ate all the candidates (candied dates). (Dream on!)]
