Missy Sue makes malted milk shakes
and she savors marmalade,
macaroons and snickerdoodles
and sweet souffles she has made.
Sue is messy slicing melons,
strawberries and mangoes too.
Sue munches seeds and celery sticks.
She mixes meats, making stew.
Milk chocolate -mouth-watering,
sweet and marvelously mild -
satisfies Missy Sue
mainly if it is Swiss styled!

I want a malted milk.
Would it be mean to wake up my husband?
He could also make me a little ham and cheese omelet.
He cooks better than I ever did.
I debate for a few minutes.
Knowing it is a mean thing to do.
But wanting that malted milk.
I have tried to make them, mine are flat.
His are sweet and rich.
I begin making a bunch of noise in the kitchen.
Patter. Patter. Here he comes with the dogs.
Oh, sorry, I lie. Did I wake you?
What do you want? He asks. Coffee?
He makes better coffee than I do too.
