How to Entertain….

Hello Poetry Lovers

So we move on to How to Entertain.

With playing host, we mostly think of guests coming to dinner. Which can be a nice occasion but not always the case when the shoe is on the other foot!

Who’s been stuck at someone’s table and served absolutely vile food?! And you dreamt about that cheese sandwich you’re going to have at home through every course?! Yes! We’ve all been this sort of guest, haven’t we.

This piece I hope sums it all up. Please read on ….

Dinner

They say Dinner is a state of mind

But unfortunately butternut squash is real

On a par with anything named Gratin

A form of torture passed off as a meal

Certain dishes spell out Doom

Aubergine bake is best to avoid

Simply embrace the cheeseboard

Because vegetables make you paranoid

Anything with tofu in is also hell

You long to grill cheese on toast

Just be grateful there’s no lentils involved   

And plan revenge for when you’re host

I hope you enjoyed that piece, PL’s, and maybe you have had a similar situation at a strange dinner table.

Thanks for tuning in, Poetry Lovers. We’ll be back with more poetry action real soon…..
