Dining Pleasures
After dinner
Stomach claiming to be a winner
There is an ending that is sweet
A course defined as the meal’s treat
Small surprise filled with candy
Sometimes sneaking in a little brandy
Lighting a torch
Baked Alaskan commanded to go forth
Bringing the whipping cream
Finishing off an evening that was a dream
Started with a small plate
Appetizers to nibble on as the diner’s wait
Then comes the main event
Hunger gone and went
It is the main dish
Steak or seafood the customer’s wish
When passing this elegant time
Coupling it with the right wine
Whispering they converse
Not thinking about their money in the purse
Since it is a wonderful delight
Award winning in every bite
Leaving the table
If physically able
People at peace
Soothing the bitter in any beast
Next opportunity the dessert tray arrives
Give it a try
It is the final serving
To a special moment well deserving
No worries about the check and balance
Getting home may take some talent
When looking to the ceiling
Having that regurgitating feeling
Savoring it was pleasant
For once not being a peasant
Enjoying this culinary present
Where knives and forks
Do the work
Leaving celebration to pop the cork
