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
