the immigrant...continued

take out


the chippie is so warm
when you come in from the grey
the portions too are really huge
enough to eat all day
but somehow i can manage
to finish every scrap
it isn't even difficult
not now i have the knack
haddock or cod with mushy peas
a pie with chips and gravy
i bet the fish is not this fresh
not even in the navy
the Chinese buffet really is
a taste to tempt a saint
eat all you want, a siren call
to feast without restraint
the naan bread and the poppadums
of Indian cuisine
they help to fill the spaces
with a curry in between
