A Simple Lunch

Have your people call my people 
We'll set something up 
Solve a few world problems 
Over a simple lunch 

Discussing all the does and don'ts
All that needs to be done 
Serve up a delicacy of world peace 
Before the taste is off our tongue  

We'll lick the icing on the energy crisis 
In the middle of dessert 
A rather tasty morsel 
Before we head back to work 

Oh and when it comes to world hunger
We'll both get doggy bags 
That is if in our gluttony 
There is anything left 

The only thing is we seem to argue over 
Is this slight problem we both have 
Who's turn is it this time 
To pick up the tab

I keep coming to read your poems that I expected would keep coming. I'm wondering why they stopped
