All Of Us Are Being Served

 All Of Us Are Being Served

By Paul McCann

Some get their bread and butter

and some sing for their supper

while others have to eat with their mouths closed.  

Sausages with some gravy

for some that something savoury,

when life only gives you mashed potatoes .

Ravioli on a roll is like some food for the soul

when you are hungry on the streets at night .

Without a kitchen to cook and you’ve no recipe book

Sure the cold wind have always got a bite .

The bitter sweet taste of life

has a flavour with each slice

served to us like a beggar at the door.

When there’s something on your mind

 that your memory’s left behind.

there’s no food for the thought you had before ,
