Breakfast for your thoughts

Life can be a messy kitchen. 

While you are running around cooking 

Be careful to avoid the spilled orange juice 

It stains. 

Burnt ovens are just the smell of trying

Open a window and let the past go out with the smoke 

Failure bakes a delicious soufflé.

Wipe your brow on your apron or shirt 

It'll all come out in the wash, right? 

Burned fingers and soiled sleeves are the secret ingredient 

You realize your parents were right. 

Serve your result on the chipped and cracked plates 

And garnish it all with a smile.
