Mixed Metaphor
I like that God put
a healthy mix of people on Earth.
All those different colours-
much more appealing
than everything the same.
Maybe some people are too sharp, or sweet, or dry or mushy for your taste-
but God tossed us all around together,
then drizzled us in olive oil and vinegar-
like he was making a salad.
