Dancing in the Kitchen With the Day

Lorna

There's a rhythm as the kettle boils

A chorus in the toaster

I live alone for good or bad

So have to make the most of

 

Most times I can forget the past

And see the time before me

It sometimes even looks all right

Especially in sunlight

 

And when the dawn creeps cross the floor

To offer daylight romance

We set the rhythms to the chords

And sweep the floor with dances

 

We cook our breakfast to a waltz

And scramble eggs to lindys

Sometimes we get up on our toes

And pirouette the windows

 

The Day and me...

    And burn the toast al presto - great fun write.

    • Lorna

      Oh definitely! Sometimes it just pops out of the toaster and skids across the floor with us.............

      • Michael Edwards

        Oh crumbs - you suffer the dancing toast syndrome. And later when it slips from your grasp whilst dancing the fandango I bet it falls butter side down. not a secret you would want to spread.

        • Lorna

          Always! Butter side down......... (sounds like a movie title)..........

          • Michael Edwards

              What a wonderful poem! I wonder if anybody in the world ever wrote something about dancing in the kitchen! A delightful read, Lorna, very well done!
