I’ll admit that I downed
the orange juice,
fresh squeezed and chilled
from the carton.

And I’ll admit that I knew
the orange juice,
fresh squeezed and chilled
would be served at family breakfast.

But I’ll admit that I finished
the orange juice,
fresh squeezed and chilled
because there wasn’t any apple.

I really like this one. (: It reminds me of my boyfriend, who just so happens to be addicted to Orange Juice, and just in general, several different aspects of this poem appeal to me... I like it a lot. (: Nice work.
