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
