Being one of the oldest glasses in the house, I thought I should say a few things. First, I am proud of Black Pepper for pouring out his soul and seeking his true soul mate. We merit happiness in our lives, don't we?! Sure, Miss Salt-of-the-Earth knows how to mix well with everyone she meets. She isn't fancy like the other spices in the cupboard, but as she became increasingly popular, she demanded a great deal of attention. I am sure Mr. Pepper will meet some Spicy number and shake it down nice and slow like he knows how. He has been sitting on the shelf unused for as long as I can remember, and few of us cannot be taken for granted like that day after day.
Secondly, and the real reason why I am speaking up Mr. Pepper and Miss Salt of the Earth have caused quite a commotion, for being ordinary folk no less, and the attention they are receiving, you'd think they were the Jewels in the Crown or the Crystals of the chandelier! So, you see, it got me thinking, "What am I waiting for?" I am one of the oldest glasses in the house; I have been with the same group since God knows when. I need a change. I don't want to be a red wine glass anymore. I want to have new things stirred in my pretty head! Even an old red wine glass can get the blues.
