When is the crumb too big 
to pick up with a wet finger
Spit expended that way  
enzymes wasted on a clean floor 
When does one choose a pig 
the stanchions are full of clean cows 
Love wasted both ways are 
dreams no longer in your control 
Crumbs on wet fingers go 
against the grains of common sense
Pigs on the loose always 
trouble for other young ladies 
Feed your pigs and cows crumbs 
love your young lady do her well 
_ _ _
wet your cow
milk the pig 
they won't love you 
love the moment 
here for the day 
it won't last 
sincere young lady 
picks her boy well

 - I dropped a fairly large cracker piece in the kitchen the other night but could pick it up by spit on my finger (ladies, this a man thing I'm sure).  That was part of my bedtime snack.  I couldn't sleep, partly because I had the title and first line in my head for a poem.  I did go to sleep before I finished writing  (on Smart Phone) on the side of my bed and have been piddling with this since.

Interesting...do cow and pigs love? I wonder? Thanks for your write, I enjoyed it.
I love how a large cracker crumb on the floor can keep a poet awake until the poem is written!
An interesting poem about crumbs.
A very interesting poem, Jim! I really liked this bit: "Love wasted both ways are/dreams no longer in your control".
Such wastefulness is rather rampant, I think. Ha!
Fascinating piece, enjoyable to read Jim... :-)
I will never look at crumbs (large or small) in the same ways. Or at loose pigs. Loose pigs will probably make me think of troubled ladies.
Love this... Oh, crumbs and pigs...life seems to be full of them.
