Burned Breakfast -- a Poem for Friday Writings

"Don't cry over burnt toast" 

'twas a weekday morning 

had nothing special planned 

Coffee and snack time 

10:30 AM 

The Mrs. had a Kolache 

split in two 

one piece for her 

another for me 

She had eaten hers 

with her cup of coffee 

I put mine in the micro 

set for "Reheat" 

forgot the Kolache 

tending my coffee 

suddenly I smelled smoke 

something was burning 

Oops, forgot my food 

normally a warm touch 

and I will take it out 

O dear what will I do 

I am a bit hungry 

lunch would be around three 

when we get home after the 

doctor's special visit 

Open the fridge 

not much there 

assortment of leftovers 

greeted my eyes 

Make do, make do 

leftovers better than none 

let's see what we can do 

Who's the "we" brother Jim? 

We shall find how well they blend

Cottage cheese, low fat 

"Cajun style Crab Dip" 

very hot to the taste 

And a whole gob of brown beans 

"Bush's Best, Original" 

Got them on sale, 99 cents 

With a fresh pack of 

crisp graham crackers 

That was quite a haul 

beans made the difference 

Top it off, quite full now 

with three soft dark prunes 

Those finished it off 

for a guy who could not 

wear his upper appliance 

today, dentist's order 

Mouth should heal a bit
