Everybody's burning breakfast today.
I can smell the charred remains as I walk past house by house.
Must be that some breaking news on the television set
Caught people in the middle of scrambling their eggs,
Grilling their ham.
Someones even left the water running in the sink.
The drain has clogged and this trail of suds
Has trickled out the front right window.
This next house has milk spilling out it's front left,
Someone so stunned
While dousing their corn flakes
That they stand in perpetual pour.

And the two windows
From the two houses
Are two eyes on one face.
One cries milk,
The other suds,
But both weep as best they can
To cover the shock and sadness.

Or, someone is filming a very cheesy commercial,
Probably for the express purpose of next years Superbowl.
