the Lunch

The Lunch

We had Christmas lunch at a hotel, so posh floors shone like

a mirror you could not look down when passing a lady

People sat in little groups whispering, and the silence was

deep when some dropped a spoon.

Festive decoration was absent- we are adults- the music was

subdued the food was good but bland they were catering for

the English peculiar taste in insipid food that has no story to

tell it felt as being a guest at a wake

It annoys me if waiters are too attentive they, not ****** slaves

and should not behave like ******* sycophants. I like French waiters

they hate you and cannot hide it but nevertheless serve you with

Gallic elegance

In moments like this when everything is soo civilised, I like to

get up and make a **** salute just to shatter this inauspicious

politeness that shuts out anyone not belonging to their fraternity.

We left early was driving around sat in a park, enjoyed the sunlight

and everything was right with the world
