Rosstown Fare


Such is the life in the home for the aged;
Having now changed where I sleep and I eat
(Bed is still single, but board is communal)
I will consider the pros and the contras
Living in company - sleeping alone .

Menus are perfect I hasten to verify;
I did not think that my palate would relish
(Nor my digestion digest without question)
Haute cuisine from breakfast to dinner
And sweet tasting milos in bed.

Yet as I savour impeccable dishes
I do pursue the contours and curves,
The grace of the women who bring us the dishes
And talk to us sweetly…, yet I remain mute
And so do they.
