HALF OF SOME

BACON NO EGGS
TOAST NO JAM
KOOL-AID NO SUGAR
COFFEE NO CREAM
CEREAL NO MILK
PASTA NO SAUCE
ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A SALAD BUT NO LETTUCE
(few days before payday, need groceries
low on cash and gas).....

Half of some is what you got
halfway full damn near empty
never completing the completeness
the situation is irritating
sometimes devastating
or just downright aggravating
have your tastebuds all rev'd up
only to discover its to late
the cake on the plate got ate
at some point you resort to
nothingness
because you want what you want
and nothing else will do
or else you settle for another
option
because your first choice is
half of some.....
