Wine And Dine O'clock comical poem 632 by Angela' Lansbury

Morning At Ate O'clock

I'm always in the mood for food

It's necessary and does you good

My husband's joke on wine o clock

Started a poem I can't stop


 I rise early often at six

To eat my morning wake-a-bix

It's time for water, not yet wine

Seven's my first brekoffee time

But then at eight it's eight a break

You have to wait

And weight yourself

 No-eating break for losing weight


I kick the kilo readout with incredulous sorrow

And note in my diary, diet -  tomorrow

Eight's known in dialect as eat-a clock

But Americans call it wheat o'clock


You might snack on your rice crispies

Like healthy vegan vegetime with beans and peas

After you've had your yog-a clock

You could set off for your jog a clock


For some lunch time is sandwich time

Ladies who lunch, schoolchildren dine

From fruit o'lock to soup o'clock

At twelve a buffet delve o'clock


Afternoon At Tea O'clock


Already hungry three o'clock?
Then have an early tea--clock
Stricly bee time, not a sea time
Strictly vegan, milk-free, mint and pea time

There's one event no child will knock

It's chocolate birthday cake o'clock

You might be wondering why, dear cock

They do not call it higher clock


Tea'time's replaced by coffee-clock

I'd rather have cakes choc-a block

Instead pf shopping round the block

Cook banoffee and toffee-clock


In Scotland where bodies are mighty

They have a huge five o clock High-tea

Plan snacking on some sweet nuts and dates 

A nice time with riectime on dinner  plates


Evening Around Wine O'Clock

At six it's aperitif-a clock
Andcock a clock for cocktails
Instead of food hich is hearty
In England there's a food-free sherry party


At eight bubbly at Champagne-o'clock
Before the piled dinner plate o'clock
Theres the meet and greet o'clock
Then the all you can eat o'clock

The Spaniards all eat late o-clock
They dine at nine for wino clock


But then again there's ten a clock
For cok au vin and parties for hen o'clock 
At eleven washing up o clock
Also known as clear up and clear off a clock


Now restaurant ban smoke a clock
Wwe used to have a late night coco clock
At midnigh there's no need to stop
Finally there's midnight snack oclock

And then we go to sleep to dream
Of all the food we've ever seen.
The body's a ong food and water pipe
Put it in and let it churcn around at night

In the morning the body can hail and rain
Make room for filling up again
That's why I've different times on clocks
And take away bags in my socks..

If alllergleis don't do you harm
Wake up for food with your phone's food alarm
A mobile's phone's main use I feel
Until those hunger pains get rea

You did not eat for hours - what shock!
Make sure you do not miss a meal
Make sure your phone has not been locked
But wakes each hour for food o'clock..
