Breakfast At the B and B

At breakfast at the B&B Four couples shared the meal. For those who like their privacy, That may not quite appeal. Yet conversation did take place, At least in fits and starts And everyone made nice, Nobody throwing any darts. As different as we were, though, We shared stories and some laughs, With no one talking politics Or making any gaffes. Once plates were cleared, we headed out And wished each other well, A pleasant breakfast for us all, As far as I could tell.

A B&B is still on my To Do list...way down the line, I suspect. I think you'd make a perfect breakfast companion, Ilene...in any situation.

A day in the life, one breakfast among many... 'Our Town' comes to mind. ~ DPI (Deep Philosophic Impact)

Sweet Poem Ilene, it can be fun meeting new people when you are away.

My husband and I used to enjoy Bed and breakfasts in Vermont. You didn't go get any privacy. I remember the very beautiful but very close quarters. The best nights were chocolate chip cookie/fireplace nights. Maybe a sleigh ride in the evening. Your poem brought back some nice memories. I was glad to have found it.

Yes, Ilene. It seems everywhere you go, it's harder to have a civil conversation. I love this lighthearted poem. A pleasure to read you today.
