Fresh Veggies

I gathered veggies from my garden—once again, a winner!
I licked my lips just thinking how delish they’d be for dinner.
At last I got them on to cook and settled down to read my book.
When choking caused me to awake, I knew I had to have a look.
Then as the smoky room I crossed, “Alas!” I cried. “Love’s labor lost."

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/16/2018 11:15:00 AM I REALLY enjoyed this one and I sure know the feeling. With me, it happens when I boil eggs. I forget they are boiling until I hear a big explosion as they burst open and onto the ceiling!!
