Breakfast With Ogden Nash
Rashers of bacon all crisp and greasy.
Eggs poached and scrambled or fried over easy.
Flip the pancake and iron the waffle.
Toast without butter is utterly awful.
Pour out the coffee all steamy and hot
And scrape the porridge from out of the pot.
Potatoes home fried and hashed and browned
French toast with syrup all smothered and drowned
The stations are closed and the airports are fogged in.
How will I get to my breakfast with Ogden?
