Life Is a Sandwich

Posted on November 14, 2020 by mitchteemley

Jam Sandwich - httpausticanteen.netproductjam-sandwich

It was soft below us and easy to chew

Twill be soft above us when we get through

But right now we’re trapped in the middle, and wham!

We find ourselves suddenly stuck in the jam

Still, the art of savoring a sandwich, it seems

Is to eat not just parts, but eat the whole thing

    Life is like a sandwich that can be full of baloney.

    Some days, I’m a panini squashed from both sides. I like your humor!

    Mitch,

    When we feel squeezed between the past and future the real substance of our present comes out.

    Dinner is served!

    Cool comparison, Mitch! I don’t mind getting stuck in the jam 😋but when you don’t eat the whole thing in time it may become rotten and that is when you have to hang in and deal with the consequences… So, let’s take it and simply eat that thing up… hehe.
