I ate the leftover cake from your birthday for breakfast I had to I was sad I know it wasn't the right choice but it also wasn't the wrong one Also it's Monday Again They never seem to stop arriving And that's a good thing or so I am trying to believe Halfway through the morning, I found frosting on the outside of my hand The same place where I would find smudges of green Crayola marker As I'd scribble the grass in my 2nd grade class Back when I looked forward to Mondays And back when I could have cake for breakfast Well a muffin But we all know muffins are just morning cake Before school I'd have an Otis Spunkmeyer Chocolate Chocolate Muffin For breakfast because I didn't like eggs or oatmeal Something about texture And I really just wanted cake for breakfast I mean a muffin And today just like when I was 7 I needed to begin my day with something sweet So I could move my feet Because sometimes you just need to have Cake for breakfast
