Life Is a Smorgasord For Most

For most life is a smorgasbord of choice, With only the occasional meal at a waited table to test the power of the voice. So, for most the expectation should not be wait and see, But rather the early bird gets all there is to see. How many times have you heard those at a waited table, Request something more palatable. If you want a life of disappointment, Your table will be reserved for every moment, To reduce the need for movement, With your choices decided by those who prefer a smorgasbord, And get to taste what you rejected, Without a dollar being wasted. Of course with a new fast food joint springing up every day, One has to bring self-discipline into play, If we want freedom of choice to have a say.

Thank you Anne-Lise. Silver spoons can be dangerous to the users health. Thank goodness they are not so common. My wife in Philippines so I am busy getting rid of all the plastic in house. Unbelievable amount. Unfortunately could not ditch all plastic cards, especially my gold card we get when we go on pension. Free public transport and other discounts. Rgards David in NZ

I did taste a smorgasbord once. Still most people indulge in fast food which can harm you.

Exactly so. All our children could can cook before they moved out and live near home so we are always cooking for each other. so we have limited the damage. Also between us we grow enough vegetables and fresh fruit. Not to say fast food is not a temptation that has to be moderated. Too much café food is almost as bad as fast food. So there we have it.
