On lunch, munch, and punch

And leaving all else, they debate on lunch. To one, lunch time was waste, hence, break-less munch. The other felt, lunch-less Would no new glory bless To UK, nor hoary Return to old glory, Lunch is a place mid-stream-- Island to which all swim, If cooler breaks are fine, Need for lunch-break’s genuine, For, from stomachs come working peoples’ punch. ____________________________ Happenings |20.12.2024|humour, food Poet’s note: The prime minister and the leader of opposition are usually at logger heads, and British parliament is no exception. A few days back they exchanged their verbal punches on lunch and need to break for it. No doubt, no lunch is free--at home nor work nor anywhere, still…. This ditty is in full favour of lunchbreaks that refuel and decompress.
