PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In the morning before the Dawn

in dim darkness of little light

seeking substance on which to feed

into the kitchen I do go

gathering substances from pantry there

dishes and tools with which to prepare

recipe used long memorized

begin to prepare my morning feast

milk and fiber and protein powders

packet of breakfast the instant kind

with together in a frothy mix

altogether to make a milkshake thick

altogether ‘tis not half bad

and lots of nutrition to be had

as so few calories to make me glad

as in my age my waist grows fat

and yet still now I must confess

while drinking I think of many other things

cakes and pies and pastries gooey

rich meat pies and soups of savor

yet I still seek my dimples to keep

right where my six-pack does lie hidden

and although most would say that

I am not fat I would not agree with that

so in the morning before twilight

in the kitchen where I would rather bake

again I make a nutritionists protein shake
