One Lonely Pea
It Was Never To Be
Soon as breakfast was over
Lunch had to be cooked and ready to eat
Many people eat without thinking
Making a meal as quickly as possible
Todays meal was a pork chop with a side of cut up potatoes
Green peas and apple sauce
A glass of ice cold water with two cherries
Chewing my food right before I swallow
When all my food was finished
A busy day ahead of us
With no time to waste
Sleeping later than expected
Made everything I had to do
Even more hurried than before
Love making even had to go on the back burner
It will have to wait for tonight
My wife leaving work ten minutes later than usual
I am still writing long after I should be on the road
Skipping a shower and giving myself a quick cat wash instead
Getting dressed and rushing to give myself a fast shave
Washing up a few dirty dishes
Making sure there is food for our cat Charlotte
Leaving the Google Mini on for her
So she will have music to listen to while we are gone
I cleaned her cat box
Went outside and added bird seed to the bird feeder that was left empty
In an effort to do all I could in one morning
I grabbed my winter coat, wallet, cell phone and keys
I glanced for one last look over my shoulder
I had missed a dish
My dish left over by the laptop
That's when I saw
I had left one pea
All alone next to a pile of pork bones
I reached down and picked it up between my two fingers
How could I have forgot about you ?
Then into my mouth you went
As if you were the most special thing of all
