Dining Out

Good foods I have always enjoyed to eat The tastiest noodles, with the most tender meat, Seafood taken freshly from the sea Along with fruits and vegetables, and always fresh poultry. Seasoning and broth I surely do adore I slurp it, I sop it, and over my food it I will pour, I have traveled the world for places to dine Hopefully they are a ten, but I will settle for a nine. I have traveled to eat in the far off east For the finest sushi and ramen which for me to feast, I then flown over an ocean for another quest For the heavenly taste of Haggis and Angus to digest. I have driven my car up to the north For pasta dishes that chefs had brought forth, And I have also traveled down to the deep south Where gumbo and crawfish waters my mouth. I always enjoy having myself a full plate And I will always applaud the culinary artist after I have ate, Sometimes it seems that my stomach is never full As I constantly need some form of delicious, tasty culinary fuel. I so love to please and tantalise my defined palate For me all foods are upon my voting ballot, And when in the kitchen I hear that lonesome barren clatter I think, so many dreams with just an empty platter.
