Breakfast was torture <br />Without you. <br />The kettle refused to boil, <br />The toaster burnt the bread <br />The milk curdled <br />At the sight of me <br />And the cat threw up on the bed. <br /> <br />Breakfast is torture <br />Without you. <br />Won’t you come back if I beg? <br />I promise to serve you <br />Your heart’s desire, <br />Sausages, bacon and egg. <br />And if that is pleasing to you <br />And the kitchen’s scrubbed up well <br />Won’t you make it a daily appointment <br />And put me out of this hell?<br /><br />Sallie Howson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breakfast-without-you/
