    Nicely done. When I was younger, I worked in a bakery for a while. My shift started at 3 AM. It was fairly common to be tailed by cops on the way to work since most of the people on the road at that hour were drunks who had closed down the local bars. Bakery work is actually quite demanding, but the smell is wonderful.

    This made me want to bake bread. Great haiku!

  • "Gluten tolerant" What a nice way of protecting the rules of a Haiku.

    Nothing like fresh bread. When I lived in Canada, I used to make my own bread all the time but the ovens are so much smaller here, it's hardly worth it.Too busy writing now too.

  • You mean bread is the staff of life? I'm sorry for being so blur 😅
