The Story of the Bagel
You may have heard of The Story of the Potato
And how it does grow
How challenges turn into enlightenment
And how this is a communal process
Well, there's another story for the times
It's about the bagel
And it also rhymes
Like bagels, enlightenment when achieved
Grows in glow like in heat does yeast
Tradition yields the knowledge to bake this bread
Like traditional knowledge yielding the enlightenment in your head
You can ask another or ask God
For guidance on your path
Or like the raised bagel
Apply your grown enlightenment to the question asked
Some people order bagels at diners, so they can rest and eat
Some make their own, spread their own cream cheese
Either way is fine really, it doesn't matter how you apply it
As long as that enlightenment gets into your diet
Potatoes and Bagels aren't the only way to grow
Wait until you hear of The Story of Cocoa
*The term "tradition/traditional" and concept of "tradition of making [bread]" were acquired from Google/Wikipedia.
The Story of Cocoa
Cocoa, truly, is interesting stuff
It's really delicious and robust
It's something one really can't get enough
And can be served as a bar or in a cup
Serve up your knowledge
Like serving up some chocolate
Knowing everyone will enjoy
What you have to offer
And sharing a cup or a bar
Of this cogniz
Will benefit the soul
As the enlightenment is devoured
Cocoa, like awareness and insight, both
Is what makes life so marvelous
It adds this special, wonderful aspect
Like enlightenment having a significant effect
Like people, each having different kinds of minds
There are different kinds of cocoa
This is a concept that reminds
Us, that we each have our own way to grow
The depiction of Potatoes, Bagels, and Cocoa
Can help us to describe our spiritual travels, ya know
Life is a journey, always moving forward
Wait until you hear The Story of the Apple Orchard
