Poem, Eating and Thinking
"Waffles" by Megan

My Photo
Leftovers for lunch
Some folk for breakfast
have waffles and fruit
Breakfast fit for King
Maple syrup on
morsels of delight
Gold in their purses
Pleasure fruit desert
How goes Dow today
Must give cook a raise
People of my ilk
Coffee bread and beans
Is there baby's milk
Hotel lunch for rich
Steak they didn't cook
Put on their account
Leftovers for me
Yesterday's dinner
Hope it didn't spoil
Spinach for my thoughts
Fried baked potato
Ketchup for my soul
Frozen chicken piece
Brain food six months old
Please pennies for thoughts
Strawberries rustled
from the neighbor's patch
Chocolate dab to share
Differently we eat
and muse

This is absolutely brilliant! I enjoyed the way you describe how "differently we eat and muse," thank you so much for writing to the prompt!💝
Oh my gosh, your lunch plate looks delicious!!! I eat similarly.
“Differently we eat
and muse”
So true.
So glad I came to check out the 'foodie' poetry ..... this is wonderful, Jim!
Left overs for lunch, now that sounds familiar
Happy Wednesday Jim
thank you for your appreciation Soma
Much💖love
Some of those leftovers don't sound too bad!
If only more men would enjoy cooking, I am a convert myself and quite happy when I do.
Love the line "Spinach for my thoughts." Clever!
"Ketchup for my soul." I like that line. I'm not a big ketchup fan, but if I go to a burger place, and there's ketchup in a pump, I will definitely get some. By "some," I mean three times as much as I need.
I've see both my kids put together some seriously strange leftover platters as their lunches over the summer. :D
A fun juxtaposition of musing and eating.... a well-layered bake!
Seriously excellent, Jim.
