An Old Man’s Only Remaining Vice

And just what do you present me with

under this covered dish?

I sure hope you can nourish

my desirable hunger that has begun to flourish.

Swordfish?!

My, my! What an Atlantian treat!

How sweet is such meat!

What a bother it is, though,

that my protein

lays upon a snow scene

atop this blizzard of jasmine rice.

Bah!

In my advice,

I'd rather have ordered a potato baked twice.

(However, if I may say cockily,

I really love the broccoli!)

And how divine are these yeast rolls!

My dear chef,

I am putting you on the payroll!
