One Single Impression: Kind

.
What Kind?

Papa went to the store
to get the tyke some more
milk.  He got the first he
saw, to him it looked al-
right.  But, it was all wrong,
chocolate was the call.

Back to the store he trudged,
he'd be sure, get it right.
He found the chocolate,
it was right where he'd looked
the first time he was there.

Now home to happy kid and
mum. Table was empty,
missed his breakfast for sure.
And his white they had drunk.

*Athtart: "Consort and reztrainer of Baal, Athtart was a benevolent goddess of sexuality, passion, creativity, and fertility, and chief goddess of Tyre, Sidon and Byblos." About.com; Ancient / Classical History
Per Paul Harvey, "Rest of the Story," early farmers placed statuettes of the various gods and goddesses in their fields to insure a better crop yield. It seemed that the goddesses of love and fertility were the ones that produced the results. Thinking that this worked, and not knowing that the seed and produce eating birds were scared away, they were the only ones left in the fields. From them the practice of scarecrows evolved. No reference, I heard this on the radio a few years back.
