Pasta Sumptuous


PastaCooking the pasta in haste
with pumpkin and corn
the chef smeared spice liberally
added finely chopped chilly to taste
mixed tamarind juice to enhance the gleam
spruced it up with butter and cheese.

Decorating the pasta with parsley leaves
adorning it with lascivious little tomatoes
that appeared like corals and rubies
setting it in a flowered ethnic china plate
laid it in the elaborately arranged buffet table
along with pastries grilled potatoes and milk shake.

The pasta looked so sumptuous and elegant
very tempting, deliciously attractive and fragrant
Each one took a large share of the enticing pasta
Sat down to eat with expectations high
The host in his best attire was beaming
A spoon of it in the mouth brought a frown
as the delicacy lacked the main ingredient salt.

Am I A Visionary?


Cereals oat meal and cream wheat,

Supplement  the morning diet,

As the world over  now rejoices,

On pre-cooked  ready to eat food.

 

 

Gone are the days when ,

Baking and boiling,

Frying and steaming,

Took the energy away.

 

 

Break open a pack,

Put them into the bowl,

Pour hot or cold milk,

Eat and it is done.

 

 

Go about your work,

What to do for lunch?

Again tear open a sachet

Containing cooked meals .

 

 

Everything is over in  minutes,

No need of a kitchen,

Nor do we require,

Stove  and oven.

 

 

Expecting a same temper,

For other chores,

Like bath and wash,

All to be done in seconds.

 

 

If minutes and seconds work,

What is  the need?

For hours and days,

Months and years.

 

 

Longevity advances ,

To 70, 80 and 90,

What to do ?

So long and so forth.

 

 

Hours will become a day,

Day assumes the year,

Year opts for a decade,

Decade extends to a century.

 

 

 

Monotony sets in,

Old  turn stale,

Young feel bored,

No work takes the toll.
