Toast Me a Bagel

Toast me a bagel, please. I've a load of laundry in the wash, fed the birds and squirrels watered the garden squash and now must sweep the floors. Had my coffee early on but now my stomach grumbles and burns, in the middle of my morning yawn growling for something more as it churns. A bagel would do me fine with a little cream cheese spread, guess it's too early for cheese and wine to fill in the crevices of air in my head. Could you do the shopping start the car and go to the store i'll stay and do the mopping, have i ever asked for too much more? Toast me a bagel, just a wedge before you head out to the deli, make it dark and burnt along the edge with whipped cream cheese and just a hint of jelly.
