Cows are happy,
chickens ecstatic
& the pigs,
content to muck in the same shit
they always do
whole farms erupt
& farmers---don't know
what to do with themselves
because we chose
breakfast in bed
(seconds...
& thirds...)
we might need to wait
for a late lunch
or the government
might just tax this.
Tell a story in 55 words. Give it a try or just read more, go see g-man.
After lunch today, I will be traveling to Richmond to perform tonight at Art 6 (downtown). If you live in Richmond, I would love to meet you. If not, I will catch up with you when I return tomorrow night.

Breakfast in bed is a good thing! Enjoy your reading in Richmond..wish I lived in the area!
That is the good stuff, huh?
I love breakfast in bed.
Enjoy your time in Richmond ~
Oh, the BEST. No, the best part is the "we" in the breakfast. Everything is better shared. :-)
Hi! Brian...
Nice use Of 55 words...Tks, for sharing and I hope you enjoy yourself [while reading] in Richmond... too!
[I'm so out Of here because it's Friday the 13th and I'm very "superstitious..."
I'm also glad this isn't the 13th comment...LOL]
deedee :-D
If they start taxing breakfast in bed I'm in trouble! Best part of the weekend.
Enjoy your trip.
I love room service and breakfast in bed. It's one of my favorite luxuries. I hope you got to do this. :)
I love how you bring the farmers into it! (and the creatures of course) sometimes mine have to wait a little, not because of breakfast in bed but reading and writing!
Enjoy your trip-
Yum! ;-)
Wish I were anywhere near you. Would love to hear you live.

So agree with Pearl. And awesome image--so much conveyed in the creases.
Great constructive criticism piece Brian. Get the hell up out of the prone position, stand rise and set your hand to it.
Hit it out of the park tonight Brother. Anytime they do a corresponding web cast when you're reading would please give me some advance notice so I can set up and log in?
smiles..nothing better than breakfast in bed where no toast and milk, coffe and eggs are needed..nice..
Nice :) enjoy your reading in Richmond :)
That kind of breakfast is definitely cheap and easy on the environment!
weel-done, thought-out and timely
concept, brian.
Great job! I have breakfast in bed every morning. (Shhh...don't tell!)
Breakfast in bed, next to impossible with all my four legged bedmates!
I hear sizzle when reading this one Brian...
Enjoy your weekend.
betty you are blessed beyond your measure...hehe...
loved the beginning of the poem :) and of course the rest of it.
Well as long as there are no crumbs
Except I think it is other drums
The kind that cause hums
And your favorite naked bums
That this could be about
Or maybe just breakfast trout
Isn't that yum
And then some..haha
uhg Nobody give me breakfast in bed:(
I heard Richmond is beauty!
It's been a long time since I had breakfast in bed. Savour it.
Ah yes, I remember breakfast in bed. Do people still do that...grins. Hope all goes well at Richmond, wish I lived nearer.
Breakfast in bed???? No one shares that luxury here!
Wouldn't be surprised though if the Government didn't tax it!

Nuts in May
Breakfast in bed??? What's that! Heeehehehe!!!
Mornins start early 'round here on the Ponderosa but I guess a girl can dream can't she?
Loved your 55 words man! I sure wish I was 'round the area to pop in on ya.
God bless and have yourself a marvelous weekend!!! :o)
Living in the Ag belt I understand the woes of the farmer too well
They muck about alot to get us the trappings we conveniently gather at the super market
Best tonight Bri
and thanks for the encouragement my friend...
seconds and thirds of what the pigs are mucking in...I'm with you 55 ways from Sunday here, boss.
I have never experience bfast in bed... :-(
Good for you Sir Brian... Have a great weekend ahead...

Breakfast in bed... a close second to dipping a chocolate chip cookie in a warm bowl of hot chocolate.
That explains why I just finished breakfast and am still hungry! *VEG* Have a super trip. Make lots of friends - I know you will.
Oh yes! breakfast no such thing like it! ;) Have a safe trip!
If the government COULD tax it, they already would.
How I miss breakfast in bed *sigh*, it is a foreign concept here in Mexico.This made me a little homesick. You are going to a reading? How awesome, Brian, enjoy yourself.
Pamela
The government better stay out of that kind of breakfast!
;)
I like breakfast in bed and suspect farmers do too :).
Hope your Richmond performance goes well! How fun to meet other bloggers. Maybe someday in Portland :)!
Mmm...sounds like a recipe I could get behind. Taking the battery out of the smoke detector and heading back to bed.
Say Hi to Jeff Davis for me
Loved your 55 Son
Thanks for breakfast, and have a Kick Ass Week End
If you have too many breakfasts in bed (is that possible?), you might just throw our whole economy out of whack...wait a minute...I think I know what the economical problems are now. :) Wink, wink.
Hey good luck at the gig tonight. I've been to Richmond a couple times, but sadly neither time got a chance to see much of the city. Did see a hockey game though, as our hotel was across the street from the arena. Definitely would've stopped by if I was around. again, you did a great job maximizing content in 55. great job. Thanks
Too bad so many actually skip breakfast. Right?
Wish I lived in Richmond. I'll be with you in spirit. Good luck.
That's living right, Brian!
Good luck tonight!
I LOVE breakfast in bed.....with you ;) Know you'll rock the house tonight in Richmond!!!
I'll have a combo plate of everything but the taxes!
And you will be AWESOME tonight!!
xo
Makes me wonder who the -real- pigs are, really.
You lucky >we<
Breakfast in bed and no crumbs to have to deal with. Some people do have their cake and eat it to ;)
Have a great night at the reading. Knock 'em dead with your works :)
Wolfgang Puck makes some wonderful Breakfast in Bed coffee.
Sustain a comminuted fracture of the tibia (sorry, still excited over the science prompt)! Break a leg :).
Breakfast in bed would almost be worth the tax.
Richmond, Va? I lived there in the Eighties. Have we had this discussion before?
Oh that Richmond. Too bad! There's one very near here, a suburb of Vancouver. Good luck tonight!
Hehe. Sounds like a yummy breakfast! :)
Ooooh, how I would so love to make that reading!
Loved the wonderful picture this conjured of all the farmhouse consternation caused by the farmer having a lazy lie-in, with breakfast in bed..
I am with She on that... Portland would be a good place for your verse...I have never heard any of my pieces spoken...except in my head.
and I love that kind of breakfast...seconds and thirds and a double side of that....
Wander
It'll be taxed if they find a way, that's for sure!
Sorry to be away from the rounds lately. Missed doing dVerse this week and will be back to read yours later.
LYDIA is informing way more than that.
She got that HOLOPM she has to do " PIGGLY WIGGLY" for.
( CREACREA)
And then, there's that LEDSCOW.
( Not to he confused with MOOMEN- DAARY- CADDLE.)
So if y'all look up FTECTOTE, it'll take you to where we are approx. , in the scripts for " Kansas Kings".
GANGAND- UDEAD- ORGEUN.
tell me this included dancing....
perhaps the sound of your voice
all the music needed.
Seconds AND thirds? You'll be too tired to perform tonight. Or were you talking about food . . . never mind...
Love the beginning with the farm creatures and farmers, and how you segued into breakfast in bed. (Yum!) Just wait; one day there'll be a tax on writing poetry. Ha.
Wish I could be in Richmond for your reading.
Dude, have fun in Richmond and have a great weekend.
Hope Breakfast was fantastic!
Best to you on at the reading. Would love to be there.
lmk when you return to R. I live 30 mins away but am out of state.
have fun in Richmond!
did you record your performance?
hope you had a fabulous time, Brian!
and LOVE breakfast in bed!

I think it's time for a Canadian tour, dude - get up here!
Delicious. The last couplet the icing on the cake. I really enjoyed this.
The world would possibly turn on its head if you don't wait for late lunch, judging by the effect on the animals and farmers. :) The govt would just tax anything to reduce what they deem excessive.
If only I am in Richmond, I will most certainly go to your performance.
The way pretty much everything is taxed these days, I wouldn't be surprised to see breakfast in bed or even the air we breathe taxed. And of course the fat cats would continue to get richer - they don't pay per ratio anywhere near as much as the average Joe pays.
I like it when you go out on a limb on your social commentary, Brian.
I never liked breakfast in bed...don't like the crumbs in the sheets. And it isn't comfortable to half-lay half-sit there and try to eat. Ha!
Well versed Brian
Hugs
SueAnn
Excellent prose- hope your reading went well yesterday!
that's what I do when I'm thrown against the wall, I dance
shubho nabobarsho! Happy New year! May God bless you with everything nice in the world, now and forever.
Nice to have those seconds and thirds! Have a good trip, dude.
Brian, ssshhh! Don't even think about that tax. "They" might read your mind.
Yummy... and I hope you had a good time reading.
Nothing like the smell of a frying 55
early of a morning; this one does descend,
or gets down with boundless brevity;
like the transitions, the economy
married to breadth of imagination;
nice 55.
the government might tax that? Huh, how did you come up with that association?
