The Orange
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, Its new.
The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all the jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I'm glad I exist.
