Food-to-Go

Food-to-Go

I gave word salad..
I selected P's and Q's
and arranged them
on a plate..
He expected something
meaty like a
steak ballad, or a joint
of full fat jargon,
to digest over days ,
but he got..
something I just
tossed ....
rather apt for seasonal
veg is off..
it wont be satisfying..
it was pass through
digestion like..
a dose of salts...
he'll not go hungry..
There's a kebab
out there..waiting

It's a great poem, Pauline x
