breakfast-making while high on testosterone

i've just been reliably informed that 
the manchester united dressing room was bugged
before their match at aston villa 
it is a shocking security breach 
but classic sci-fi can be a bit hit and miss
like my pancakes
but we soldier on 
we have tickets for the opera
as we still await to see on stage the essentials;
making a cup of tea
reading the newspaper
putting on a pair of socks
but there's a character on stage dying from 
tuberculosis, which according to Wikipedia is an infectious disease. 
that causes
significant damage to the lungs
and she's singing her heart out
i whisper to my wife, "this is fun."

that italia '90 fella was good 
you'll be in tears

In like the way you intertwine everyday observations with larger themes creates a fascinating juxtaposition!
