Cornucopian Cuisine

Ooo, pass me that plate
it looks really good.
I’m treating my palate
to all this yummy food.

I pray all of your days
are filled with lovely sights
of life’s whimsical ways
and all of its delights.

The rumbling voice of the crowd
and click and clank of silverware,
though numerous and quite loud,
cannot diminish my evening’s air.

The amber liquid in the glass
that’s my preferred evening booze;
while I can’t say that it has class,
it’s the one I always choose.

A runny nose, a fever under my skin,
an aching body, and fits of coughin’…
The elementalism of disease:
a body’s burden but a mind’s tease.

I focus on each hour
to make it through the day
until I have the power
to live in my own way.
