Two Boiled Eggs For Breakfast

Fancied boiled eggs
 with brown bread for this morning’s breakfast.
Well, that was the plan.
Boiled them for ten minutes
then out of the pan.
Put them by the breadbin 
I would surely not forget.

Pottered around the kitchen – tidied up, washed up
pottered around the bedroom – made the bed, tidied up
thought: what shall I have for breakfast?
Oh yeah, muesli, haven’t had that in a while!
made muesli, ate muesli, washed up.

Two eggs sat by the bread bin
still in their shells.
Egg mayo sandwiches for lunch, then.
Unless I forget!

Hello Judy Reeves, I would boil the eggs let them cool. mash them with a fork. Than mix it with mayo. Then enjoy it with potato chips. Hugs. Enjoy your day my friend.

The mind is a hard thing to lose! This is something I would do for sure except it would be several hours of puttering around outside… enjoyed!
