Did I say a poem every day? I meant one poem per day on average. Brb suggested that I knock it back to a poem a week, further proof of her pessimism and defeatist attitude. But I will not be brought down by Captain Bring-Down. I was gonna write two today, but now it's too late. Maybe tomorrow. Oh yeah, and thanks to Ben for the poemment (poem/comment). It had a lot of feeling. I should try that.

ODE TO A CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST

It's a good reason to wake up--even if you are on vacation.
You can't smell it from your hotel bed (that only happens in movies),
But you know the continental breakfast is downstairs
Because the tall sign promised it would be.

So you do get up, and it feels good;
You're not tired because this is a special thing.
There's no need to go through your whole morning routine
Because it's just continental breakfast.

Hopefully, you are with people who make you feel comfortable
So the experience is not ruined by small-talk anxiety
And you can focus on your toast and muffins
And watch CNN.
No news this morning.
