Don’t Cry Over Spilled Orange Juice

When pouring yellow orange juice into a non-see-through yellow cup,

Take a moment to switch the light on to save five minutes cleaning up.

Pouring in the dark soon leads to over-filling and spilling, you see,

Leaving behind a mighty mess to then be sopped up and mopped up by me.

This I have learned from experience, such a true and noble teacher,

Who knew that congenial yellow cups could have this peculiar feature?

 

So now I switch the light on first,

To avoid another citrus burst.

Yet somehow life remains inventive still,

And finds entirely new things for me to spill.

 

P.S. from Little Red Bear — Experience remains a wonderful teacher. Today’s lesson happened to cost one glass of orange juice.
