Dennys Death Breakfast

Swimming pools And motel inns A holiday with no end Pull up the car Empty the trunk Leave the ice chest by the pool Pop tops and a future on ice Kids in bathing suits And Dad’s on guard Mom’s sit and watch the kids Dad’s talking *****about things they did Till they pass out and the Mom’s take charge Then it’s hang up the wet suits And off to bed. Sure hope Dad doesn’t snore to loud Sunlight creeps between the blinds And Dad is up searching for breakfast So it’s down to the Denny’s and eggs for all Another season another fall.

You should read "Peace and Hope" it will take you back to the Stuckey's day and perhaps a bit farther to the dark side. ~Kilmer

Dear Kilmer, Oh sweet monotony; I feel it and see it at Motel 8; I'm there. Your title is an amazing one followed by the grim reality you so aptly describe. love, Kathy

Yeah I think I did this a thousand times as a kid. It was fun but looking back from a parents perspective it must have been torture! :) Kilmer
