An Accident

I stepped on a mint today
Broke it in two
By accident, of course
And I picked it up
And decided I'd eat the halves
Later.
I figured it'd be better to eat them one at a time.

But when I go to eat the halved mint,
I find it's not there.
It must have fallen out of my pocket.
So I try to break another one

But I'm not tough
I'm not strong enough.
So I eat the mint whole
And my fingers are a bit sore now
