The Peace of Bacon

By Megan Lawver

There is no peace in our house today

Bacon is cooking in the microwave

The tail on the back of the black dog wags

Eyes longing, mouth drooling, hoping for just a taste

Greasy goodness in his sights

His constant whine is making me crazy

His hope is a piece of bacon, my hope is peace and quiet

In the end we both win as I give in
