385. Simple

Nothing is as simple as it seems
Have you tried opening a jar of jam?
We take for granted some things are easy
Try making a dinner from Spam
We laugh at some who toil to serve
Carrying plates and passing us a dish
Did you ever try to recall what you had for lunch
Try remembering for a hundred others for a switch
As you proceed from this day on
Give more credence to the trivial task
For some day you’ll need some help
And may be embarrassed for help to ask
