Daily Prompt: You, the Sandwich
July 23, 2013
If a restaurant were to name something after you, what would it be? Describe it. (Bonus points if you give us a recipe!)
Photographers, artists, poets: show us DINNER.
I love take-out too much;
I know it’s true,
But please try and keep it
Between us two.
I know I’m supposed to like
Green salads, juice and rice,
And sometimes I do –
I just like having a choice.
With turkey, stuffing and cranberry,
Thanksgiving dinners are the best
Good food has a way
Of making you feel blessed.
Did I mention I love apple pie?
I do.
I like frosting, cheesecake and cake
And whipped cream too.
After I’m done,
I look at what’s left
Ethiopia and India glower;
My clean-up is deft.
The washing and putting-away-ing
I really don’t mind:
I’m a Virgo – this job fits us in a way
That’s one-of-a-kind.
Oops I forgot again:
Dinner’s supposed to be light.
Eh, maybe tomorrow
If I’m bothered to get it right.
Also, I work just a little
Different from many –
I give my thanks,
After eating, for plenty.
I feel it then
And in that moment I know
That no joy can compare
To the after-dinner glow.
