"Your have an active mind and a keen imagination" By Diamond Pollard
My what?
No, seriously, what in my possession
has an active mind and a keen imagination?
Better question: did no one proofread this?
Yeah, I know it's just a fortune cookie
and I'm fortunate to know that my fate
isn't decided by a one-and-a-half inch slip of paper
wrapped in sugar.
But still.
Fortune Cookie, you could do better.
Because you're (see one of us knows proper grammar)
an American product that's just kind of Asian enough
to make us feel like we're about to get Buddhist or Confucian wisdom.
But you, Fortune Cookie, didn't even give me
a word of Chinese to learn on the back,
just lottery numbers.
I don't know what's more tragic:
that I've been robbed of an opportunity to learn about another culture
or that the Powerball was last month,
If you're going to pass off shitty, misspelled platitudes as fortunes,
Cookie, the least you could do is not taste like plastic
🙂Try chocolate chip next time 🙂
