Biscuits

Homemade biscuits and wild grape jelly

Are mighty hard to beat;

Especially when you first get up

And crave something to eat.

Add a side of bacon

And maybe scrambled eggs;

It'll put a little spring into

Your fresh-woke, wobbly legs.

Some people like to skip

The first meal of the day

But, I need something filling

To send me on my way.

I can't live on coffee,

Although I need its boost,

Without it I might as well

Just stay upon my roost.

I'm glad the one I married

Is such a talented cook

And rustles up the things I like

That aren't always in a book.

She's not much on breakfast

Eaten early in the day

Though she might grab a little snack

Somewhere along the way.

One thing she will do for me

That I appreciate

Is to make a little extra

Biscuits for the plate.

They were fresh last night for supper

And I ate more than a few.

I'll eat some more this morning

Yep, that's what I'll do!
