Oh!

There's nothing like a dish

of good, old, plain porridge

for breakfast -

hot spoonfuls dropping thickly

from pot to bowl

lovingly dressed

with cold, creamy milk

and brown sugar

a dribble of runny honey

and a dollop of real butter

some assorted nuts

handful of raisins

just a sprinkle of shredded coconut

and cinnamon dashed over the top -

all stirred gently together -

like a gift to the gods

with a prayer of thanksgiving.

Aaahhh ....the smell - the texture - the taste

of good, old, plain porridge

for breakfast!

 

And – tomorrow – hmmmm -

thickly chopped fresh apple

with cardamom … or ginger ….

and maybe sliced dates – or figs!

Or a whipped egg stirred in -

or …... or …... or …...

 

Oh! I love good, old plain porridge

for breakfast.

If I go to sleep early tonight

morning will come faster.

But I could have it for tea, couldn't I?

There's no law!

Custom can be 'interesting', don't you think?

After all, it's just habit.

 

Maybe porridge for breakfast, lunch and tea

might be a bit silly – for me -

but I bet lots of people would say 'Hallelujah!'

Relevancy.

It's all about relevancy -

The past, the present, and the future.

Well, it's worth a thought

Isn't it?
