Tasty Poems - "The Orange"
by Wendy Cope
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave –
They got quarters and I had a half.
...
And that orange it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
This is peace and contentment. It’s new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all of the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.
.
Wendy Cope, “The Orange” from Serious Concerns.
