The Lovely Banquet
I went to a lovely banquet, everything
prepared was so pleasing to the eye.
I saw things that I had never seen
before.
Some dishes appeared unusual and
out of place.
Others looked rare and exotic; I didn't
know whether to eat or stare.
In the end, I chose to indulge myself
in a once in a lifetime feast.
But as I began to eat the different things
on the menu,
My palette and taste buds shocked and
deceived me.
The things that appeared rare and exotic
were bland and flavorless.
And things that seemed rare and unusual,
and just plain odd,
Had finesse and flavor throughout its core
and danced on my tongue.
It was the best things I ever tasted; if I went
by their appearance alone, I wouldn't have
given them a second thought.
