Chilly Eggs - Oct. 3, 2025

Now that I no longer work,

    each day has a distinctive taste

Mondays still arrive like hard-boiled eggs

     lacking salt or pepper and refrigerator cold

Tuesday steps up nicely, to nachos -

     warm, cheesy, crunchy, salsa-kicked

Wednesdays relax, an easy celebration,

     hotdogs, potato salad, gherkins

Thursday is a scotch-on-the-rocks day,

     smokey, fruity, closed-eye lounging

Fridays are fun food with dessert

     a diet-breaking day to be with friends

Somehow, Saturdays

     have always gone down like leftovers

and Sundays,

     another tasteless reheat of the week

which is probably why, I don’t mind eating
