Simple Pleasures

There’s nothing complicated
About man’s simple pleasures
Each one is calibrated
To enrich each days leisure

We indulge in the chewing
Of meaty grub that we grilled
Then wash it down with brewing
The homemade beer that’s best chilled

And when amongst our good friends
We do enjoy some boasting
About daily odds and ends
That’s topped off with more toasting

A fun day includes jesting
Because laughs make us happy
And when done there is resting
Accomplished with a nap(py)

As a woman, this gave me a chuckle! This reminds me of my son's father-in-law. He's always having people over, grilling and drinking beer. Great write! Congrats on your placement in my contest and thanks for participating! Love, Kim
