Mixed Nuts

One of the biggest mistakes of my life

was to put a cup of coconut flakes

in a bowl of mixed nuts I composed.

After every handful you ate

your hand was coated with coconut flakes,

and you were reduced to licking it off

or brushing it off, like an idiot. 

However, a remedy presented itself!

(in case you ever make the same error)

and it wasn’t sorting or filtering;

there is no easy way to get the stuff out.

But get a spoon and consume your mix,

quite like a bowl of cereal.

As long as there’s life there is hope.

Dear Friends, of Correction.

A great deal is possible.

P.S. I am eating this mix by myself.
