Earl Grey and Batteries

All persons at one point in there life
will hear the phrase:
You Live and You Learn

Sometimes I find that hard to believe

Like today
I bought batteries
for my piano.
And instead of taking my time to open them
which would have saved the container
which held the extra batteries
i ripped it wide open
and all twelve of them fell to the floor.
AS for the container
completely torn apart.
which means ghetto
ziploc bag which ill probably lose


This is where i should have learned
I also bought earl grey tea today
which happens to be my Favorite.

My hot water is boiling
so i grab the unopened box and
rip the top apart...
why don't I learn??

is it the sheer excitement
of having something new
or is it my young, adolescent
brain which refuses to accept that
change is sometimes for the better

whatever it maybe
i sit here baffled and quite amused
