Food of Love
A meagre diet.
I am very fond of the culinary arts
with great scope for excellent food
that is both nutritious and good
to satisfy and gladden our hearts.

Yet sometimes the name of a dish
is the source of considerable pain.
take for instance quiche Lorraine

and might have realised my wish
for true love and companionship.

I embarked on an ardent courtship
but she proved to be a cold fish.
I was left high and dry, in the lurch.
She completely changed her plans
soon after we published the banns
and never turned up at the church.

Whenever i order a crepe Suzette
other sad memories come to light;
I will always remember the fight
that left Sue distraught and upset.

She left me after that on the quiet
without even saying a goodbye
and immediately found a new guy
who doesn’t give a damn about diet.

I enjoyed the personalisation of the dish names, and the interweaving of little stories, Luigi.
A bit of fun-writing with wordplay. Glad you enjoyed it, thank you, Allen.
I’m just glad that you’re not partial to Toad in the Hole Luigi! But yes, an elegant word play.
I never had any problem with that dish, I’m glad to say.
