Hello All! Today’s prompt is to write about a hand made gift we have received. It was a good prompt.
Everyday
Everyday, just like everyday, so everyday we are here.
Everyday he makes do with what we have
And what he makes, makes what we have seem just right.
The surveys during the day, inquisitions in the fridge.
What’s leftover? Who’s expiration date? Why is this still here?
He stocked up three weeks ago, going on four.
How he comes up with three meals a day, I can not say.
Everyday, maybe like everyday, so everyday he plans.
Rubbing hands together he schemes his schemes,
Mind turning as he turns what’s left into what’s great.
Baby carrots decorate lunch plates of lunch meats.
Some things used sparingly, ramen the spare food for later.
Fake eggs slipping into pancake batter better than no eggs at all.
Everyday, not like everyday, so everyday he cooks.
Left over steak remake with a pair of potatoes,
Joined by a glass of wine wins hearty on a cold night.
The next morning, lifting one of the last ten eggs,
Scrambled up a yellow splash topping tip top hash,
Breakfast of champions for the champion dishwasher.
Everyday, not like everyday, so everyday is special.
