An Ode to Breakfast-All-Day

Consider ye the pancake,
Round and fluffy white
Whose presence dost command ye
Not to tarry, but to bite.

Consider ye the bacon
And the eggs and sausage too,
Who existed once as animal parts,
But now only to please you.

Consider ye the cereals,
A meal which is pourable
And whose very presence
Makes prepared food deplorable.

Finish your consideration
With a piece of toasted bread
Which equals any man or lady
In its worthiness to wed.

And so with all these options
It is time that we get real:
For what purpose exists
To eat any other meal?
