Poem

I sprinkled dry yeast in warm water
And watched it bubble up,
Then cracked open a fresh laid egg
On the edge of a measuring cup.

I dumped in a helping of all-purpose flour,
A little oil, a pinch of salt.
Then I stiffened it up in a mixing bowl
Like a mugger committing assault.

I rolled it all out on a cutting board
Well-dusted with whole grain unbleached.
My hands went to work massaging the mass
As appropriate texture was reached.

I then let it sit till it doubled in size,
Set the oven to furnace degrees.
Then I fashioned a riddle and baked it inside,
Left the kitten to do as she please.

Twenty minutes later…

I opened the oven with fireproof mitts,
And fetched out my fresh staff of life.
I brushed it with butter, then set it aside,
Left to cool, while I sharpened my knife.

Ten minutes later…

The time finally came,
I was hot on my game,
And I cut me a taste-tempting slice.
But it was only half-baked, 
Insufficiently toasted.
It had to go back in the oven.
I surveyed the scene, 
Took a couple more tokes, 
And baked up a morning worth lovin’.
