For Max and Tod
By Lawrence “Mack in Texas” Hall
We leave the comfort of a little fire
And repair to the kitchen for a morning repast
Of bacon crisp, of toast from home-baked bread
And omelettes more golden than the morning sun
The dogs come with us, for something good might fall
To be nipped before it ever hits the floor
And the fireside conversation begun
Continues around the festive Dickension board
Old friends, old dogs, and Christmas coming soon
And omelettes – altogether a happy boon!
