lunch in the park
Lunch on a park bench
I had bought two hamburgers
Each had a lettuce and sliced tomato.
When she showed up the burgers were cold
and the lettuce had lost it crispness
the tomato had mould
The whole thing tasted of a paper bag.
She relished her burger and ate mine too
The one I have saved for the ducks.
We shared a can of soft drinks then she
had to go back to the office.
So that was it the greedy woman only
seeing me for the food
When she rang the next day, I didn't answer the phone.
