Quiet with Erin

Add one to our pair
Just one, and the rules change
Three adults who neither ask, nor tell.

Take away from this heap of food
Bit by bit, and feel the weight
Like three bears huddled over their porridge.

Fuss, fume, and roll our eyes
Learn something new, for the second time
Just the three of us plan to save the world.

Laugh, tell stories, and spill our minds
Without going certain places at all
Devouring each of three courses with ease.

One remains to see the others off
Just one, with a full belly
Amazed that in those three hours, nothing was said.
