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..
