Real French Toast


The sign said, ‘Breakfast Any Time’,
You know I like to eat,
And breakfast is my favourite meal…
It really is a treat!
 
A whole day’s worth of calories,
So much from which to choose,
Everything from cake to nuts…
One really cannot lose!
 
But harking back to that bright sign,
The ‘Breakfast Any Time’,
I thought that I’d just go right in…
And try some tastes sublime!
 
The server sat me on a chair,
Then handed me a card,
The foods they offered listed there…
But my choice wasn’t hard!
 
I gave the menu back to her,
Said, “Now that I’m ensconced,
You’re serving Breakfast Any Time…
French Toast in the Renaissance!”

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So KarenCharlotteMimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

We'll try to keep you warm next week,
And try on 'Mittens'! Take a peek!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?
We'd love to welcome you!

  7.  Hello Blog Admin and anyone reading this , I was diagnosed of herpes and Hiv at the age of 24, and it runs my life until I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center- thankfully after drinking Dr itua herbal medicines for two weeks I'm completely cured which really helped me now I've had no limit how much I do massively. I had two jobs, one full time and one part time, have my horse to care for and would also help friends with their horses. Have since had to accept that I only have one job (to take care of my health) and still care for my horse with help... Dr Itua also cures all sorts of chronic illness and diseases like Herpes,Hiv/Aids,Cancer,Kidney Disease,Liver Diseases,Hepatitis,Lupus,HPV,Diabetes,COPD, And other health conditions anyone may have in their body. Dr Itua uses his herbal medicineTo cure those diseases.
    Visit his herbal website www.drituaherbalcenter.com/shop or email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com This is an illness I wouldn't wish on my enemy
