I savored a fortune cookie, it was so delightful and adorable. It's fortune portrayed loyalty, honesty, commitment and trust.
What it's fortune truly veiled was entirely wretched and deplorable, it harbored immorality, cruelty and lust.
Although this cookie was alluring, delightful, savory and sweet and it's fortune full of craft, trickery and vile deceit, I saw precisely through it's veil and I simulated my defeat.
Now my reflection is of it's fortune and my vengeful plot complete and I can relish every single bite with no surrender and no retreat.
To quote the Cookie Monster, "yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!!" Yes, this cookie was definitely sweet enough for me.
But, between every single bite I became less numb. Though blinded by the taste, this cookie's misfortune I could see.
Once the cookie was all gone, I became much less caring, I no longer endured the strain to feel so unworthy or humbled.
Yes, I knew all along this cookie's fortune I was sharing. Unfortunately and fortunately for me, that's how the fucking cookie crumbled.
