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
