What should we have for dinner?
I dont know!
I actually dont feel hungry
How about you?
The pizza I made yesterday
Is all but gone
What do you think about
A stir-fry?
Sounds good
But we have to prepare so much
All those veggies
Need to be cut
How about a curry
That sounds fine
But you like it hot
And the children, mild
Chicken nuggets
Is their favorite
But I know
You dont like them
How about fesengoon?
That sounds great
But I feel so tired
Its so late
Well pick up something
At the grocery store
Pre-fab food
Today, we need you!
Its not healthy,
But I dont care
Tomorrow is
Another day!
Ill be good and
Cook some food
That tastes like what
My mother cooked!
Home-cooked meals
Prepared with care
The smell used to
Perfume the air!
Those good old days
Are all but gone
Today we sometimes eat
Out of a box!
