24 Poem’s “The Dinner Party”

 

 

Chef’s Speech

 

Before we proceed to dessert

I would like to say a few words

And allow you a burp break

I speak of course in self-effacing words

 

Thank you all so much for coming

And bringing the requested wines

Adding the organized recklessness

Of this experiment in gastronomical terror of matching wine

 

Once again I remind you

Not to feel obligated to finish courses abundantly

It is just a taste experience

I thank you all again, abundantly

 

I might I add

It was so much fun making my final decisions

And I apologize to those I missed

England, Colombia, Brazil, Hungary, German and the U.S.A… decisions decisions

 

Take as long as you’d like

Enjoy a drink or a glass of water

Before we honour Hawaii

That beautiful tiny land surrounded by water
