A "Cat in the Hat" moment

A "Cat in the Hat" moment

Honey, I love you, but this is out of control!

With some difficulty,
I scooped semi-crystallized honey
with a knife
out of the jar
and onto my yogurt.

A large glop fell to the floor
as I reached for a spoon
to scrape off the knife.
that swiped at the blob
that clung to my elbow
and stuck to the table
as I started to eat.

A newspaper clung
to the drips on my sleeve, 
soft sucking noises 
arose from my shoes
as I walked to the sink
'cross honey-streaked floor.

My partner pointed out 
with non-sticky finger
a huge dollop on counter
not even in range
of the gooey affair.
