My nephew was at my place doing homework, and when he completed what he could of Math and Science, he began working on Language Arts. He was required to do a "five senses poem", which he promptly finished and asked if I would like to hear it. When he read it to me, I said "I have to post this on the blog." (Anyone remotely familiar with my blog will see why.) He said, "Okay."
Kitchen
I hear the sound of fresh, hot, sizzling bacon on the stove.
I feel the rush of warmth rising from the oven.
I smell the fresh pancake batter being whipped back and forth.
I taste the flavour of fresh, pure Canadian maple syrup.
I see ... my plate of second breakfast before me.
As much as I would like to say that I or my kitchen contributed to this in any way, I didn't, and sadly, nor did ny kitchen. Oh... except for the warmth rising from the oven because we had hot dogs.

That figures he would write something about food!
Jeanie:
Yeah... funny thing... I sent him outside to perhaps be inspired to write about Nature. Food always calls.
Kudoes to your nephew! :)
Dave:
I thought he did a great job of it... the first line being especially noteworthy.
Oops, forgot to say thanks.
Second breakfast?
Your nephew is a hobbit? :-)
Harvey:
He certainly eats like one.
