Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Breakfast smiles at me loosely,
fried egg eyes innocent, wide,

Is there no sadder stuff to crunch?
Surely I can make a deal,
save breakfast for my lunch.
