I SHALL REFRAIN

I shall refrain From voicing my political taste As it varies by occasion A soft mushy oatmeal Breakfast Accompanied by a few Blushing strawberries A street vendor hot dog With relish And a side of sauerkraut Washed down with A finely distilled, purified Arizona Aquifer water A “choke and slide” PB&J On the run To pick up the grandkids Fresh fruit and veggies Of unknown origin A flavorless meat mime Of questionable authenticity Milk, with an expiration date Longer than mine Dessert The hope of the day Soft, chewy, warmth Draped in a whipped cream robe Delivered To another table.
