A Full Morning
A Septolet78 total reviews
Comment from EllenV
This little septolet made me laugh! It is so true of how we as humans often function! We eat a bunch of junk (extra syrup and home fries) and then think that our indulgence can all be erased by a few turns on the treadmill.
I don't know if this is what you had in mind when you wrote this, but this is how it was interpreted by me. Which reminds me, I need to go exercise, now that I have splurged on a morning truffle!
Have a lovely day,
ellen

Ellen, actually I intended that this indulgent eater is on his way to a ten o'clock appointment for a stress test with the cardio doctor, which is conducted on a treadmill, but your interpretation, shared by many, works too!!! Thank you, Brooke :-)

David, while I've been guilty of eating such breakfasts, nowadays I try to make it oatmeal :-) I don't want one of those ten o'clock appointments for a treadmill stress test in my future!! Thanks, Brooke

Tread mill test only if you don't have a heart attack before hand. I liked this, I really thought it was funny. Good job on it.

Yes, there is always the possibility of dying before ever arriving for the test! Glad you liked my satire. Thanks so much, Brooke :-)
Comment from Gert sherwood
Hello Brooke,
A Wonderful Septolet
Okay you made me laugh
Number 10 on the Treadmill
now that would be a beyond my range.
Me I can't even get up to # 4
I would rather do push away all those sweet tasty delights.

I meant the person had an appointment for a treadmill stress test with the cardio doctor at ten, after this unhealthy breakfast :-D Thanks, Gert Brooke
-
Got it Brooke now do you want me ((to change my review))
I will do so.
I recall when I took a stress test.
I was told not to eat anything.

no, there's absolutely no need to change your review, Gert! I'm sure you were told to eat nothing - the person in this satiric poem is doing all the wrong things :-)

Brook sounds like this person doesn't care.
smiles
See you later.

Comment from NadineM
Brooke,
This poem, septolet, is about food loaded with fat and calories, thus the need for the treadmill test.
I know the red font makes the poem colorful but I think maybe a brownish color might add to the syrupy drizzly feeling, and the greasy fries too...Just a thought. This makes my raisin bran cereal sound dull!!
Thanks for sharing this with me.

Comment from The Cowboy Poet
Brooke, this sounds like something I would do except I would have included some gravy and bisquit. Is this from personal experience? A nice observation of human nature.

I have had these sorts of breakfasts at places like Denny's and the International House of pancakes but luckily have not had so many that any doctor has ordered stress tests!! :-) Thanks, Brooke

Thanks so much - I wanted it to be unhealthy, but the particular ingredients were dictated by what had poetic flow! LOL Brooke :-)
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I should think so - the treadmill after waffles with syrup - this brings back such memories of our trips
around the USA - the little diners everywhere with a minature juke-box on the end of the table - all new to us. And people having syrup on waffles when eating eggs and fries. I once asked for chips and they brought me a packet of crisps - thus I learned chips are fries!!
Light-hearted and fun this one, my friend.
Margaret.

Comment from Just2Write
Ha! This should be posted in every cardio ward throughout the land. Come to think of it - It would be appropriate in our schools as well. Too late we learn the folly of fast foods, that mean fast-track to heart attacks. Rose.

Heart valve operation at noon! Love waffles but not in the diet I am on. We had an old time diner just close that was right down the street. Loved the little jukeboxes at the booths. Great write. joan marie
