Carving food at night






carving food at night
when the lights in the sky are out

when the family is home
gathered around the television

mother, father and three kids...
one two three four five...

the peas are cooked
an' 'all the trimmings'

cutting up the mutton
making the gravy

and the mint sauce

guess this aint America

guess this aint a guess

this aint television
but ipod, cell phone.

cornputor technology...

we are happy here
or so they say...

the food is hot, at least
it was when we last

looked at it. Monday will
come again once a week...

the traffic will swell
and the gravy

will be forgotten.
