Breakfast for Dinner

One for the Shift Working Parents

By Matthew J. FrommPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Wheat toast and butter

Simplicity incarnate

Yeoman’s delight

The dairy farmer

Harkens the tasteful wonders

Of eggs and fresh cheese

A small dash of salt

Blended with crushed black pepper

Spices that built empires

Early morning dishes

Now called into action for

Desperate dinners

“My Favorite Treat!”

…Of my parents' exhaustion

I would never know

A/N

Took me becoming an adult to realize how exhausting life is, and how somedays you don't have it. Those days call for breakfast for dinner, and I never once minded.
