The mean old man, he’s serving food. I’m not a fan of how he’s rude. His angry voice and bitter way, give me no choice but stay away. I dare not feel his rotten soul. Such icy steel just takes its toll. If I avoid while he prepares, I’m less annoyed in vile he shares. And so I wait for him to go. And play with fate I do not know.

The bitter chef
The mean old man, he’s serving food. I’m not a fan of how he’s rude. His angry voice and bitter way, give me no choice but stay away. I dare not feel his rotten soul. Such icy steel just takes its toll. If I avoid while he prepares, I’m less annoyed in vile he shares. And so I wait for him to go. And play with fate I do not know.
This poem was inspired by a poet on hello poetry. I live in a group home. A lot of the food is not that bad. It’s the attitude of many of the chefs that really ruin the eating experience. There is not much I can do about it. I just have to wait and hope things get better.
