Time Eaters

Serve up your time . . .

(but)

Beware of those who are full
etiquette implores them to accept.
Preparation and labor are unnoticed efforts
lost in a galley of many.
Consistently ungrateful.

Beware of those that consume,
without a single chew.
They lack culinary appreciation
and will never value when they are fed.
Consistently hungry.

Beware of those that are gluttonous,
they will taste everything.
Curious of every flavour
to broaden their pallet horizons
Consistently unsatisfied.

Beware of those that are malnourished
they will eat anything.
Unable to distinguish between
fine dining and garbage.
Consistently starving.

    wonderfully written with pure skill and craft. I like your words the unique sequence they use to bring out the meaning of your poem.
