Oscar Night Dinner

We stood outside and read the sign: Two pizzas plus for twenty-nine. The plus was for a bottle, red, To sip with food which we’d be fed. Delicious meal and what a deal! Can such a bargain be so real? The answer that we got was yes! More food, more wine but money – less! We tossed in a dessert as well. A tiramisu – what the hell! So now I’m filled up with a buzz, The greatest deal that ever was! There’s just one tiny little glitch – Tonight there is the Oscars pitch. With wine and pizza in my gut I hope my eyes don’t end up shut!

When I read your poems, Ilene, I say to myself how natural writing comes to you....you don't try to impress with flashy or bombastic words...simplicity is the key! Well done on another lovely write that leaves me satiated and with a smile:) ~ Regards // paul
