Poem, Eating and Thinking

"Waffles" by Megan

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

    Oh my gosh, your lunch plate looks delicious!!! I eat similarly.

    “Differently we eat
    and muse”

    So true.

    If only more men would enjoy cooking, I am a convert myself and quite happy when I do.

    "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!
