How to bake the best breakfast scones, in easy steps
Remove overfed cat from kitchen bench
wipe down (bench) and remove hair
wipe out mixing bowl removing fur
scrub pastry board, unblock sink
place wad of cat (from sink) in compost bucket
from pantry remove flour etc
and furball in entrance, yes that 3am noise was real
find (chewed) packet of yeast
open window and yell I hate every last and all cats
console neighbours who think they heard
I know where you did that
stumble over starving animal you fed half an hour before
gently rub shins bruised from coffee table
put on walking shoes (after removing cat)
collect wallet, face mask, shopping list
use special brush to clean off sweater (long orange strands)
avoid speed of light diagonal dash blur
when opening door
at (boutique) bakery buy (just like home) scones
wake on couch six scones butter and jam later
carefully dislodge ‘snoodles’ (cat) from shoulder
trip over (gift of) large rat on floor
avoid speed of light diagonal dash blur
repeat easy steps zero through nil and nine
Just who is Iris?
