Bob the Bagel was a jolly, delightful bagel. He enjoyed telling jokes and being friends with everyone.
One day, Bob met Suzie Schmear at The Deli Delight Dance.
"Hello. My name is Bob the Bagel. You are very pretty. Would you like to dance with me?"
"No," said Suzie Schmear. "You are too plain for me. I need someone who's more exciting." Suzie then walked away. She met up with Stu "The Blintz Master."
Bob the Bagel lost his smile. He started to cry. Tears of salt came streaming from his eyes. Bob was becoming a Salt Bagel. Bob yelled across the dance floor, "Say Suzie, look at me now. I'm a Salt Bagel."
Suzie shook her head and yelled back, "Still too plain. Look at Stu. He's blue eyed and blueberry all over."
Once again, Bob was feeling very sad. "Say Bob," said Sesame Sammy. "How'd you like some of my sprinkles on you. Maybe that will make you feel better."
"Sure, why not. What do I have to lose?"
Sesame Sammy shook his slim body all over Bob. Soon, Bob was covered with sesame seeds. "Yoo hoo, Suzie. How do you like me now?"
"Nah, I'll take a pass. I'm dancing with Freddy "Cuddly Kugel. He's so sweet."
"Ugh," said Bob. "What else can I do?"
Poppy Seed Phil next approached Bob. "What you need is some poppy seed power. Here, have a dose of my poppy seeds."
Before Bob could say another word, poppy seeds coated Bob's body. "Wow, I'm looking fancier all the time."
"Hey Suzie, look at me now. Aren't I looking super cool."
"You are sporting a new look, but I'm still not sold on you. Besides, Beefy Ben is heavenly. He's a combination of salami and roast turkey rolled into one."
Just as Bob was ready to walk out the door, he bumped into Gary Garlic and Owen Onionhead. "Hey, watch it bub," said Gary.
"Yeah," Owen added. "You're looking awfully upset. Wait a minute. Bob, is that you?"
"Yes it's me," said Bob the Bagel. "I met the creamiest girl in the world. Her name is Suzie Schmear. She's not interested in me. I'm too plain."
"You don't look that plain to me," said Gary. "I'll tell you what. You need some garlic and onion added to your body. That will do the trick."
Gary and Owen shook around Bob over and over again. Bob was now coated with garlic and onion.
Suzie looked at Bob and said, "Wow, you really have changed. You are not plain at all. Oh, I could just smear you to pieces. You're my everything. Suzie grabbed hold of Bob's circular body and they smooched for a long time. They left the dance shortly afterwards and spread their happiness for all the folks of Deli Land to see.

I assume it is a wonderful story. Is it your own creation?

It was my own creation. I just wish other people would read it.
