The Poetry Of Catering.. For profitable catering you will require 3 large capital assets 1 sterile production environment 6 accountants A limited imagination, And a large inflatable bear. For fast buck Knock it up Good dishonest Plastic grub You will require A sound grasp of metaphor and lies Licenses and corporate ties Certificates of due diligence And a heavy convergence Of the hungry and desperate An urban conurbation A railway station A tourist Destination Overcooked and overpriced Packet processed, packet sliced Who’s to notice A touch of uranium If once is once and never twice It hardly matters There’s still another football stadium Full of passing strangers For everything frozen But the price But for the nourishment of the living For the revival Of body and bones and mind To speak from the heart To the heart With the senses You will require.. For the spirit woken Lemon, ginger, cardamom, vanilla For the world unspoken A hidden hint of almond A secret spark A leap in the dark A moment And forever For the heart broken Toast For Poetry A pinch of salt For the will to live Rosemary, rosehip, force ten gravy For the over-confident Red chilli, too much tarragon Tabasco, Wasabi For the punishment of sin Lentils and little Imagination For the pursuit of sin A lavish desire An alchemists fire The daring combination To delight and to move To excite and to smooth To ignite and to sooth To incite and to prove The mix that makes The crust that melts To velvet on the tongue For the harvest Black grape, damsons, sloes in rum or gin Beetroot and bramble jelly Blackberry port Plums, poached In green ginger wine For the healing of the mind Orange sorbet Cinnamon, coconut An allegation Of tangerine For the past caring Toasted Hot Hazelnuts Extinguished in double cream Rum butter Grated chocolate Un-grated chocolate Charlie’s unsurpassable chocolate cake Chocolate And now With a handful of herbs On a day full of hope With a head full of magic In a billowing kitchen Where a tumble of spices Entices With fingers of fire And flavour and flame This banquet Begins
