The first day i saw it, i was walking down to catch the bus, and i saw it, and as i sometimes do with some things that i walk up to, i gave it a little kick. And it rolled along, to where its been sat ever since. Over the last week it has gone from looking like a perfect malteser, like the one you would find in a bag, lovely and round and covered in chocolate, crunchy looking - just perfect, to a weathered old piece of dog turd.
Over the days, the weather has been shocking. It has rained, its been windy, the mornings have been icy cold, there has been little to no sun (not that that would have helped anyway.)
The malteser has weathered. :(
It has shrunken. Its shape has changed into a more lumpy kinda sphere, chocolate is missing from its surface, it looks trampy..
Staring at my malteser as i awaited the bus for my journey home, i couldn't help but think -
It may look like a poor excuse for a malteser now, but its had a longer life than any other malteser that just sits in a bag then gets scoffed down, unappreciated with its chocolaty brothers.
