So many times we eat alone. At least I do. Then I think of the times when I have had company for dinner, or just shared a snack with someone. It’s probably one of the more enjoyable pastimes we indulge in. I wrote this poem after a dinner with friends some time ago. There is much to enjoy in the company of others.

Food
Of all life’s pleasures much employed
to raise our spirit and our mood
there is none we better enjoy
than consumption of good food
On nights so cold and spare of cheer
and friends are absent too,
a serving of good food and beer
warms you through and through
The pleasure that I feel inside
that warm and cosy glow,
I find contentment on my side
now needing friends to show
appreciation of the feast
and company to stimulate
my senses, not the least
of which must contemplate
that pleasure shared is pleasure doubled
more so when we talk of food
and friendship lasts when time is troubled
and helps to raise our mood.
You are a very smart person!
great post, enjoyed reading it.
Wine is the Gift of LOVE!!!
