Ham, Eggs, Grits and Cheese

Ham, Eggs, Grits and Cheese

 

How many of a morning have I spent with these?

In quiet contemplation at my home,

Or in some crowded urban luncheonette alone

A cup of coffee with some milk to wash them down

 

Ham, Eggs, Grits and Cheese

 

A hearty company of flavors sure to please

Too often now of them I did partake

At times forsaking ham for sausage, hash, or steak

With every season seemed I’d gained another pound

 

No longer easily up the stairs to sprightly bound

And harder still to tie my shoes each day I found

Gone are the days when I might carry on with ease

My love affair with Ham and Eggs and Grits and Cheese
