Granpa's Special Recipe
Our grandpa
used to eat toast and coffee
mixed up in a bowl
he'd crumble up the toast
into the bowl and
then add coffee to make a meal
his own personal concoction
his breakfast if you will and
oh how he loved it
it nourished and sustained him
in his old age
it was his recipe for a long life
we only found out later
it worked for him because
he had bad teeth
and sore gums
and swallowing was easier
than chewing.
