Annual Marsupial Luncheon

Marsupial luncheon was a huge success
We had enough food with a plausible guess
Kangaroo baby made an enormous food mess
We did not help mama clean it, I must confess.

It’s all in her pouch the koala said.
She is embarrassed. Her face is quite red.
Opossum did not reply. She was playing dead.
All marsupials were amply and adequately fed.

Mosquito Beaters Luncheon Class of '64

Mosquito Beaters Luncheon
Class of  '64
By Franklin Price
03/17/2022

It was only just a week ago
That we met at Island Time
Older now and maybe wiser
Than when young and in our prime

The faces looked familiar
As the years were wiped away
We were the class of '64
Who had come to lunch that day

I exchanged  hugs with ladies
With a light

Light Conversation Lunch

A lesson needed to be taught 
This wandering wolf thought 
Prowling the area Birmingham flats 
Saying “we are not getting into that” 
Finding the villa owned by Astin 
Gate code giving without the asking 
Went up a few flights 
To have afternoon conversation with bites 
Ringing the doorbell 
“Are you gonna sell?” 
Right off the

Soup Kitchen Luncheon

He said s/he was a Permaculture Designer
of cooperative economies.

I asked him/her why I should care about designs
long-term
while I am still struggling through this day
before tomorrow,
when I, best case scenario,
awaken healthy 
to begin surviving yet another day
before night's cold unrest.

So glad you asked
s/he seemed to say
without youthful presumption
of telling me what I already knew,
Good question!

Honey,
I'm eighty years old.
My goal is to continue gracefully accepting my future losses.
I'm not sure that helps you

A Cannibal's Luncheon

I was a part of a cannibal's luncheon.
Fat melted like ice.
My wife joined the Caribbean dance.
Sautéed metaphors.

Luncheon of the Boating Party

(Re old poems)



The luncheon of French bourgeoisie under frilly striped awning.
Young fair maiden, rosy cheeks- beguiling her eyes; leans on the railing.
Amidst fruits and undrunk wine in amorous air strokes dog, a wife.
Men look askance in yellow straw hats, faces muse in blazing whites.
Quivering tints alive on a terrace, evolve in sunbathed human life.

A Luncheon Nap

I closed my eyes and
An array of colors were seen,
Like unto prismatic stained glass.
I saw it start to approach and
Watched to grow.

Luncheon On the Grass

Has anyone ever heard of Edouard Manet?
The late artist painted something controversial in his day.
Art connoisseurs can see it on display
if they visit a museum in Paris called the Musee D’Orsay.
Two men and a woman enjoy a picnic outside.
The woman certainly didn’t have anything to hide.
Three piece suits are worn by each male.
However, completely naked

Next Sunday After Luncheon

Each Sunday after luncheon
As long as it’s not cold
My parents have their little walk
Although they’re getting old 

It’s their routine, they’ve done it
Ever since I was a lad
Each Sunday after luncheon
Just me and Mum and Dad

At three o’clock they like to stop
To have a cup of tea
A sticky bun for Dad and Mum
A sticky bun
