Array ( [sid] => 31727 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Next Time, a Sandwich [time] => 2004-01-15 04:53:43 [hometext] => A silly little tale of an everyday event with a not so everyday conclusion.This really happened to me.It makes me smile now thinking of the absurdity.Thankfully, although it required a trip to the hospital, all that I'm left with is a scar [bodytext] => A tin on a shelf, innocent enough
Or so it seems, no cause to doubt
Nothing written on the label, No "Warning,demon lurks"
No protective clothes required for this simple task

Reaching up, I select you
Ignoring the bold red design painted on your shell
The colour of danger, though I read "Tomato Soup"
As I reach for the opener lurking in the drawer

Tastebuds tingling, not too long to wait
Simmer gently in the pan, serve with a pinch of herb
Cutting the circle, breaking your seal
Already imagining the warm delicious taste

I let out a cry as you bite me deep
Victim to a razor sharp tooth
Is this a game where you just changed the rules ?
I expose the inner you, you the inner me

Ok, you win, I am bleeding now
I surrender, look what you have done
Tomato soup ?, I think you are more than that
Liquid evil, I curse you !!

I look at the orangey red of you, the darker red of me
I want to crush you for revenge, I would if not for pain
No more risking danger just for a daily meal
Safety first to be the rule, for me next time......a sandwich
