Austrian Dinner Parties
After All day on my feet
my hunger cannot be beat
I cannot wait to eat
so at the table I take a seat
Before we can begin
everyone must come in
the kids and I wait to begin
while the adults sip their gin
With the table elegantly set
we ask if we can start yet
but our needs are not met
and my stomach gets more upset
At last the gin is gone
hopefully we eat before dawn
finally the food is brought on
as I try to stifle a yawn
Thank goodness the salad is ocming
because my stomach is now rumbling
Is this really salad? I'm guessing?
Oh no! There's no ranch dressing!!
Next we have asparagus
I really wish it was tasteless
I try to not gag or grimace
but I'm afraid it's hopeless
Finally the main course
hopefully it's not horse
down my throat I must force
unknown meat of unknown source
I send a prayer above
that a dessert I won't get sick of
thank goodness I get a hold of
ice cream...mmm...I love. :)
Mayo
Mayo here, mayo there
Holy crap! It's everywhere!!
In the morning, in the night
What a horrible sight!
On tomatoes, even a potatoe
It has become my biggest foe
On the meat, on the bread
I think I'll drop down dead
Mayo here, Mayo there
Oh gag me!! It's everywhere!!
Divine
Chocolate, chocolate oh so divine
I've never tasted anything quite this fine
I just might build a shrine
to this chocolate oh so divine
Meat and Bread
When I am not in bed
I am kept well fed
when every single spread
consists of meat and bread
the meat is not so bad
but much better I have had
I am always more glad
when I only have a tad
the bread is so delicious
I wish it were more nutritious
of weight gain I am suspicious
but the bread is so dang delicious
I am kept so well fed
it's hard to get out of bed
when every single spread
consists of meat and bread
Nothing captures how a person feels like true poetry...even when it's about food. Nice job! I feel like I'm right there in Austria with you. And the mayo thing...out of control. In Holland they served a big dollop on top of french fries in a cone cup. Yuck! Hopefully you have the option to opt out of the mayo madness!
