April 2016 Poem A Day #16 - My Order


The prompt was go to a restaurant and write a poem there - or write a poem about eating out....


My order

I want a small order
not a plateful big enough for ten.
I don't want butter or salt.
Forget the meat, not today.
I don't want a lot of sugar,
or while flour or grease.
Don't bring me a grey-green blob
of over-cooked veggies,
no wilted lettuce, no
sticky clump of white rice.
Don't bring any soda,
no creamer either
Wait. 
I'm going home for lunch.
