Mom's No knead bread

no need to knead
when sleep is calling,
with eyelids drooping,
you bend to remove
a large bowl from below
the sink, the knees creaking
a bit in protest.
mix three cups of flour,
(1/2 c. whole wheat, 1 1/2 c.
organic, its best but expensive,
1 c unbleached), 1 1/4 t salt
and 1/3 t yeast, don't skimp
on the cheap stuff, you mutter
to no one in particular.
mix the dry ingredients and moisten
with 1 5/8 c of water, mixing
well until all the flour comes
off the sides of the bowl.
most important, open those
peepers and make sure the
bowl is sealed with cellophane
and out of the draft to optimize
the rising process, once sure
the eyelids can droop, staying
open only so long as to get in
bed with the dog beside you and
you can all fall into the abyss
of dreamland until tomorrow.
