Toast Rack

Toast Rack

Breakfast’s the laziest meal of the day,
A quite casual repast as a rule -
It’s not something so organised
That you need to watch the toast cool.

No - straight from the toaster and onto the plate,
Horizontal and any which way -
Whack on the butter and marmalade:
A sloppy approach to the start of the day.

The idea of it all in a line,
All vertical and serried in ranks,
It’s just too orderly for my taste,
We don’t need it on parade – no thanks!

Life’s too regimented as it is,
Without starting the day so formal,
So keep the toast-rack in the cupboard,
Chill out, and carry on just as normal!
