How should we start breakfast, lunch - or dinner?
With an olive or a glass of sherry
With brown bread and butter, or still water
Prosecco's fun, but it doesn't matter
Water or alcohol adds lubrication
Relaxes the mind and starts conversation
What is the best thing to talk about?
Thoughts which cause passion but don't make you shout
I like salad and fruit, something that's fresh
Something surprising in ev'ry great dish
Different colours, some vitamin C
Some A, and D, lots of variety
Some potatoes or bread, meat or fish
Something substantial in the main dish
I think of dessert but have to wait
For pudding, petits four, chocolate (cake)
I was on a diet but I'm not a fool
In the short-term we're kind, though long-term we're cruel
Resisting it all cannot be done
Why stick to one when we're having such fun?
Last, espresso coffee, maybe mint tea
Something refreshing, I think you'll agree
Ginger and flavours you know I adore
Offer seconds, thirds, 'til guests gasp, 'No more!'
