You always ordered the same<o:p></o:p> Soupe de Poisson Flavoured with Pernod. A bottle of red wine And a jug of ice cold water. I would have whatever The Plat du Jour It was cheap you see And students never have Much money. We got to a point That we didn’t even Need to speak I would watch as the Wine emptied And think about you Kissing my scarlet lips. I left you for the man Who could serenade You married the waitress. I saw you recently Sitting at our ‘usual�?table I notice now that You eat steak and pomme frittes. And the scarlet lips you kiss Are now a rather insipid pink. ©EMG05 |

Whoooo...don't you just love it when that happens, lol, I enjoyed to smile with this one, Emma. We can never be sure 'what' we have missed, it would be fun to go back and see what they are like some years on, nicely written with the 'sting in the tail', lol, 'night, Zy |

Thanks guys, I thought I'd give food a quick revisit - and of course Soupe de Poisson is one of my favourites. Emma |

Hiya Emma, I really liked this, I think when you right about food it seems to anchor the poem expertly somehow in the way you tie it in with your theme. Well done with this, Sinead |

Thanks Sinead, I really must go on a diet one of these days - but food and love always seem to go together, Emma |

Thanks Peter - I once ordered Soupe de Poisson in a restaurant over here, and it was disgusting, which seemed strange as I love it normally - anyhow I pushed it around for a while before giving to my then husband to taste - and he also found it disgusting - the head waiter noticed and asked us if anything was wrong. Anyhow he whisked the bowl off and came back later full of apologies of how the chef had put too much pernod in the soup. Whats more, we also got a free meal from it lol. Tasted ouzo, fairly potent I agree. Emma |
