Ode to E8
Ode To E8
There have been countless times that you have granted me the utmost satisfaction. And for less than a dollar; you come cheap. You fill me with warmth when I am cold. You refuel me after a exercise.
I come to you un-showered, dripping in sweat from the eight kilometer race, still half-panting. And you never deny. I come to you with the taste of other candies still on my lips. And you never complain.
You are delicious. Your flavor delights the tongue.
You are filling. Your substance satisfies the stomach.
You are a savior. Driving down route 135 I was deathly tired. I should not have been driving. I was not close enough to a coffee shop or D&D’s to get coffee and wake up. I needed sugar and I needed it now. You sat there smiling at me (if only you could smile!). The moon was out and its light made your wrapper glisten. The word “substantialicious” was a message from the divine.
I pulled over and un-wrapped you. I had a “feast.” Your energy saved me. I am alive to this day, because of you, and you’ve never asked for anything in return.
Oh thank thee Snicker Bar. I love you.
