Dinner Is Served, Son Poem by Alistair Graham

Dinner Is Served, Son



It takes a lot of time
To hunt and gather

To chop and clean, to boil
To steam and stew

To roast and poach
And then prepare a table

A spread of food laid out
A splendid view

Then you don't take your seat
When the hall bell rings

Your friends pull up outside
And you wave out

You leave the house, your empty stomach with you
Drive up the Gilnahirk Road and out of sight
