nothing

Ha-ha-ha... Yeah, my last fortune cookie read: "You are very poor; In fact, you are too poor to even pay attention..."

lol, sorry about laughing but, just as it is you, it feels funny. I apologise, Steve, just reminded me about you going to the cinema instead of the rock concert.

joe-adomavicia

yeah you aren't kidding. I am glad that low for you has passed Steve. These ten words speak for you as well as many others.

Someone once told that it's lucky when your cookie has not fortune, because you get to make you own future.

when one is deeply aware of one's essence
fortune cookie doesn't count that much, after a while
(but I don't forget the fact that one needs to scratch
when there is an itch on the skin, we are human)

This is not a poem though! more like FB status .haha

How ironical...:)
Ya just never know. I guess you'd have to put this in the "always darkest just before the dawn" category!
Congrats, Steve!

It's an open book for you to write your own future .

Like a Christmas cracker. Nice comment on unfulfilled expectations.

toreinss-pinwinkel-iii

I know this may seem unrealistic, but you'll find your anything right there on top when you open your nothing.  What does this say for the value of nothing.  LOL

may be a 
key to happiness...!  ?

That's actually supposed to mean that whatever you want is your fortune

patty-mmmmmmmmmm

I don't know how I missed this but it's great.  I've actually had that happen quite a few times, is that called missed
forture, hahahahahaahahahahha you're a gem besides you still got to eat the cookie.  Yum  Confucius say check your stool you might have swallowed a fortune.   or man with missing prediction writes his own fortune.  omg they're getting worse.  
big hugs and congrats sugars you're the best

aw, snap....that's like Marcus Aurelius saying "friends, romans, countrymen...i got nuthin to say"

SoulSurvivor

Oh... NO!!! You could have asked for another one,  but at that point what's the use?

Happened to me many times so I switched from chocolate chip to oatmeal cookies . And nothing changed .
