Breakfast In Bed
Line upon line I have written and chapter after chapter I have read
Sometimes in pajamas, or a sarong and once even unclad
My craving mind, with meat and cheese , I have fed
Been blessed a few times with balm delicately rubbed on my aching head
With satisfaction, I have whimpered in a voice of lead
I am mostly coy to the core and still unwed
Last summer I got overwhelmed and let go of my Ted
I don’t regret my choices or feel sad
This morning, as I picked up my writing pad
I felt sudden urges to be served breakfast in bed
Whip cream, maple syrup and some romance now I must add
To be! served, just this once; least tomorrow I be dead.
