The Breakfast Poem - Live!

On Thursday 21st May, Sara Mohr-Pietsch was joined in the studio by Ian McMillan and together with Breakfast listeners, the following poem was composed:

I pull the curtains wide and feel the morning on my face
Then stumble down the stairs to make the tea.
The gush, the steam, the click, the clink, the ritual gathers pace...
The phone rings, and it's you, it's you! I hear you telling me
You are outside, but I'm not washed or dressed.
I pressed the buzzer, shut my eyes and you can guess the rest...
