Quadrilles (44 words) “in a box” served by De at dVerse poets’ pub!
Dad must have eaten
too many sandwiches
packed in cold lunch pail
over fifty working years
Probably seen enough
bologna to last another
fifty, sliced bread spread
in days before microwaves
Retirement home’s
elegant menu choices,
Sunday buffet brunch…
contrast supper’s disappointing
box lunch!
Shel Silverstein

I liked bologna, at least I thought I did… actually I haven’t had it in thirty years, maybe I really hated it. But I liked your poem. Dads are great aren’t they?

I am ready for those elegant and nice meals after years of lunch boxes.

He may long for those box lunches. I like the sound connection between “brunch” and “lunch”.

That’s a lot of fun.

Glad you caught the ironic humor of it!

Loving that title! I don’t blame him. Not a fan of a packed lunch, myself!
