  I was born in 1965, and so dining out and fast food meals weren’t the order of the day @ my childhood home. When we did eat out, say, at MacDonald’s for example, I would order a small fries, soda and a hamburger. I would eat a bite, maybe two, and then give the rest to my Dear Father. I liked pickles, so, my father and brother would give the pickles from their burgers to me.

  Menu Options

  I’m not a kid, he says,
  and I am suddenly aware of how tall he is
  (and wonder, how did that happen?)
  and I notice how he won’t even look at the menu placed in front of him
  that has the word “kid” jumping out at him in bold letters;
  Instead, he steals a glance at my menu, like a thief,
  and points his index finger right straight at a large plate of ribs
  with fries and more food than one can even imagine tumbling off the sides of the picture
  and he boasts, I can eat it all, no problem,
  as his brothers look up from their crayons and coloring
  and admire his audacity
  while I consider the size of his stomach
  in direct comparison
  to the size of my wallet.

  Grill cheese,
  Please,
  Yellow, brown, and gooey
  Warm, soft and chewy
  Grill cheese,
  Please.

  Grill chesse is my daughter’s favorite food to order.

  The Fizz

  He likes to drink the fizz

  From the top of pop

  Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!

  His eyes bulge

  His lips pucker

  Slurp! Slurp! Slurp

  And a grin

  His eyes twinkle

  His lips curl at the edges

  He’s captured the fleeting effervescence

  Of bits of dancing bubbles

  To quickly the fizz flattens and flees

  Into the air

  Like the breath of youth

  Which, once exhaled,

  Becomes the vapor of memory

  In the mind of a father

  Shirley Temple

  I can’t spell the type of cherries
  That they use to make you
  But Ani thinks that you are
  As great as I did
  When I was her age.

  I stole into my kitchen-nook
  Half hoping I might steal a look
  At all the culinary fare
  Located in that cook-house lair.

  But in between the bric-a-brac
  Hidden in recess, joint and crack
  I found a store of mischief rife,
  A veritable stock of life.

  For just behind the biscuit tin
  Bereft of scaley tail or fin
  Two silverfish began to scurry,
  Then scaled the pantry in a hurry.

  Watched by a spider unaware
  Who, on a bone just napping there,
  Spied happily with the other eye
  Her web entrap a butterfly.

  And down beside a jug of figs
  A pair of chocolate-brown earwigs
  Lay dreaming of tomorrow’s meal,
  A tasty piece of potted eel.

  And more of tasteless base decorum
  Waiting in that kitchen forum,
  Holdings dense in rich variety,
  Tenanted in just propriety.

  Of all the city parks and zoos
  Confining apes, cats, kangaroos,
  More awe-inspiring imagery
  Springs from my home menagerie.

  He wants the Sampler,
  from the adult menu now.
  Eleven comes fast!

  Never saw them made,
  Which is, perhaps, a Good Thing:
  British sausages!
