BON APPETIT

               

   BON APPETIT

Hey, hey, hey,

three meals a day. 

Begin with breakfast,

aptly named,

bacon and eggs, perhaps. 

And then at noon, do lunch—

a sandwich or a bowl of soup. 

And in the evening,

a cocktail

and a full course meal

with salad and dessert;

this is your dinner,

unless you’ve already

eaten it earlier,

as on holidays.

In which case

you settle for supper:  

leftovers or pizza

with a glass of wine,

and all is fine. 

Whenever, whatever,

bon appetite!

And remember that

the children have to be fed; 

so don’t have babies

unless you can afford

to feed them—

it’s the decent thing to do.
