Thought to Ponder

[CaptinCrunch]

>At an airport one night
> > With several long hours
> > Before her flight.
> > She hunted for a book
> > In an airport shop,
> > Bought a bag of cookies
> > And found a place to drop.
> >
> > She was engrossed in her book
> > But happened to see,
> > That the man sitting beside her,
> > As bold as could be,
> > Grabbed a cookie or two
> >
> > From the bag in between,
> > Which she tried to ignore
> > To avoid a scene.
> >
> > So she munched the cookies
> > And watched the clock,
> > As the gutsy cookie thief
> > Diminished her stock.
> > She was getting more irritated
> > As the minutes ticked by,
> > Thinking, "If I wasn't so nice,
> > I would blacken his eye."
> >
> > With each cookie she took,
> > He took one too,
> > When only one was left,
> > She wondered what he would do.
> > With a smile on his face,
> > And a nervous laugh,
> > He took the last cookie
> > And broke it in half.
> >
> > He offered her half,
> > As he ate the other,
> > She snatched it from him
> > And thought....ooh, brother!
> > This guy had some nerve
> > And he's also rude,
> > Why he didn't even show
> > Any gratitude!
> >
> > She had never known
> > When she been so galled,
> > And sighed with relief
> > When her flight was called.
> >
> > She gathered her belongings
> > And headed to the gate,
> > Refusing to look back
> > At the thieving ingrate.
> >
> > She boarded the plane,
> > And sank in her seat,
> > Then she sought her book,
> > Which was almost complete.
> > As she reached in her baggage,
> > She gasped with surprise,
> > There was her bag of cookies,
> > In front of her eyes.
> >
> > If mine are here,
> > She moaned in despair,
> > The others were his,
> > And he tried to share.
> > Too late to apologize,
> > She realized with grief,
> > That she was the rude one,
> > The ingrate, the thief!
> >
> > How many times have we absolutely known that something was a certain way, only to discover later that what we believed to be true....was not?
> >
> > "Always Keep An Open Mind And An Open Heart, Because...You Just Never Know..."You might be eating someone else's cookies."
