Magic Breakfast

By Dyce

 

When I sat down to eat today,

A loaded plate flew by my face

Followed by knives in neat array,

(The forks and spoons were keeping pace.)

 

A one-eyed man was cooking toast,

With crimson fire from twixt his lids,

Another froze them when the coast

Was clear (he does it for the kids).

 

A woman there, with hair like snow,

Rebuked him with a rain-shower,

Not the slightest shame did he show,

(I think that's a mutant power)

 

Gambit showed off once again,

Cooked bacon with a single touch,

Rogue was unimpressed, 'twas plain,

(I know *I* wouldn't like it much)

 

Jean made the pancakes dance about,

Circling the room with joyous ease,

To get a share, just give a shout,

(But only if it starts with 'please')

 

A bone spike barely missed my ear,

As Marrow claimed the last pop-tart,

I let her take it with good cheer,

(I know they're not good for my heart)

 

In furry hands I took my plate

Twas time to work, abandon play,

And yet, though labour is my lot...

(There's breakfast magic every day)
