Who Shall I Have For Dinner
Who shall I have for dinner?
The fever inside me has grown so old
The human flesh is wrinkling and brittle the bones
I served you well as an experiment told
I am the picture that reflects my story of love and souls
The starter began with a soup poured into a dish so cold
It fed me well but growing boys hunger for meaty goals
A rare steak delivered to me in the shape of an English rose
I grew so confident and stronger my hunger over flows
My last course was a pudding of a selection of fruits all bold
I knew from the last fruit I ate that I’d eaten too much as the pater knows
Frequently I remember that first meal as my dreams unfold
Nothing ever tasted so good after that because the restaurant had to close.
