Dinner For 4 Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Meatloaf

The old man had bought minced meat it wasn`t much
he had to friends coming for lunch, so he added two eggs
maizena- flour, white flour, and milk and mixed well.
He left the dough in a bowl by the sink and had a coffee,
when he came back tiny ants -very tiny- had covered
his food, perhaps a thousand of them, as he didn`t want to
throw the dough away he mixed the ants into it and
added a bit of colouring to make it look darker,
he then made a meatloaf and served it with mashed potatoes
and fried onion.
The three old men ate well and as one of them remarked
this was indeed a meaty loaf.
