#Writing101, Day Seven: Give and Take:

Today’s assignment is to focus our post on the contrast between two things. The twist? Write the post in the form of a dialogue.

———————————————————-

As I contemplated today’s assignment, I considered the first things that came to mind:  men and women, my two boys, old and new, young and old, black and white… Then I noticed this all-time favorite photo from years ago staring at me from the corner table, and I knew exactly what I was going to write.  Enjoy this little diversion from the “usual” at life in between.

———————————————————–

Long ago on a tabletop far, far away,

A battle began that continues today.

Who will win the ultimate Victory Cup?

Will it be Mustard?  Or will it be Ketchup?

———————————————————-

“I am surely the King,” boasted Ketchup.  “Kids love me best.”

“They pour me on hot dogs and french fries with zest.”

“You know my friend, Mustard, I’m their favorite request.”

 

“How silly you are,” replied Mustard unimpressed.

“Nary a pretzel – hard or soft – could exist without me,” he pressed.

“A bratwurst or corn dog would be so suppressed,”

“without the complex spiciness I so richly possess.”

 

Which one wins your vote?  Which one wins the test?

In the greatest of battles and longest running contest?

————————————————————

“If you were only allowed one,” I asked Marty.  “Which would it be?”

“Mayonnaise – that is easy!”

Men!

Cheers & Hugs,
