Breakfast for Dinner
One for the Shift Working Parents
Wheat toast and butter
Simplicity incarnate
Yeoman’s delight
The dairy farmer
Harkens the tasteful wonders
Of eggs and fresh cheese
A small dash of salt
Blended with crushed black pepper
Spices that built empires
Early morning dishes
Now called into action for
Desperate dinners
“My Favorite Treat!”
…Of my parents' exhaustion
I would never know

A/N
Took me becoming an adult to realize how exhausting life is, and how somedays you don't have it. Those days call for breakfast for dinner, and I never once minded.

Throne of the Beast
“Lock and load.” Knight One’s command echoed through his helmet, drowning out the helo’s thumping engines. Knight Two sat across from him, his mechanical gloves thumbing the safety on his oversized auto shotgun clad in etched black metal. Knight Four scoffed silently, his face obscured by the jet-black helmet. An uncivilized weapon for an uncivilized man. There are already enough of those in this godless world. Two always seemed unsettling, like a big frothing dog in a constant internal struggle of, “Should I bite or hump my master?” It was no wonder Callsign General loved Two, even if Callsign Archbishop barely tolerated him. One was the Archbishop's girl.

My mum used to do "choosing tea" - there would be just a random selection of stuff on a plate - cheese and crackers, a mini sausage roll, a cup cake, a yoghurt, carrot sticks, grapes, raisins, just a random collection of bits and pieces. I tried to give my kids choosing tea and they were not impressed!
