An anthology of emotional first aid...

I found this poem under the section "Successfully Single".....

Go to Bed with a Cheese and Pickle Sandwich
Mandy Coe

Go to Bed with a Cheese and Pickle Sandwich
It is life enhancing
It doesn't chat you up
You have to make it.

A cheese and pickle sandwich
is never disappointing.
You don't lie there thinking
Am I too fat?
Too fertile?
Too insecure?

Your thoughts are clear,
your choices simple;
to cut in half,
or not to cut in half.
How thin to slice the cheese,
and where you should place the pickle.

From a cheese and pickle sandwich
you do not expect flowers,
poems, words of love and acts of adoration.
You expect what you get:
cheese... and pickle.

You want, you eat,
and afterwards - you have eaten.
No lying awake resentful,
listening to it snore.

Safe snacks.
It comes recommended.
