Wrap, Wraps & More Wraps

Dreary-eyed I step out of the cozy confines of my rapturous dream world as the heavy lids oblige by parting their deep embrace.

So, it is dawn already? As in that morning time when one has to get going? It is!

The two five-edged paws drag themselves onto mother Earth as they search for their wrap while the two languorous arms tediously wrap the golliwog tresses – quite a paradox – atop the skeletal membrane at an exact 45 degree angle. By the way, an amazing work of art in that super slumberous state!

Drag…. Drag…. Drag….. Splash!!! Woohoo, so I’m still AwAkE and AlivE – Thus, whisper the water splatter as it rudely bangs on my poor sleepy child-like countenance.

As I unwrap myself from the barely forty winks, the next destination is the hearth of the house, my kitchen. Nah, in no mood of doing the honours of packing some sumptuous but mind-numbingly home-cooked fare for lunch… Quickly, then very quickly the diet-conscious half decides to reach out to the brown cereal bread and wrap it up with the low cal, marmalade and lite cheese, but cheese it shall be… And an apple is a healthy thing to munch on when hunger pangs strike right when you should be engrossed in the sonorous depths of some kinda hard-hitting professional assignment.

Hmmm…… The day moves on at its tepid pace and just when one ought to be ticking off bulleted points in the official to-do list, the feline ear-drums hear the pitiable tummy GrOwL! My hands reach out to the wrapped sandwiches and my ever-optimistic heart wills for an interesting bite… And in the nick of time, “S stop, I’ve ordered a wrap for you,” said who???


Alas, a benevolent saviour comes to the rescue; a God-sent colleague who is celebrating – Today is Giving Day. So, as the teeth bite into divine crunchiness, the principal organ of taste muses about the delights of being a carnivore and the taste-buds relish the chicken wrap; it is time to enclose yourself in the absolute scrumptious moment and a world of gluttonous gladness.

Little did this starving soul know that when you decide to share your own edible offering with another one; this time a lip-smacking sweet-i-licious dessert awaits you – coming to you from across the seas from another compassionate peer.

Wrap yourself in what you should do and witness the alluring wrappings that wrap themselves all through your way! Just do it!!!
