DAY TWENTY-EIGHT

ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT

To create the perfect dish

you need two types of pepper

sometimes three or four

add a touch of salt and sage

garlic ginger chives and celery

work your way through the alphabet

adding beans and butter butter beans if you like

avocado aubergine any combination of fruits

and/or veg pasta and potatoes and legumes

as long as there are two or three or more of each

and every letter under the English alphabet sun

sunflower oil and saffron I think you get the idea

mix it all up into an edible splodge

but don't forget that presentation is King

and perhaps Queen too for all of you domestic

goddesses out there Brighid and Branwen

Nike and Nyx Marici or Mama Killa

if they won't do chuck it in the skillet mix it to death

don't overdo it make sure you kill it and don't forget

that chips and chocolate round about midnight

on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday and Sunday

is the best time to eat so I hope you're still hungry
