He looked at the plated meal before him
with a degree of deliberation.
He didn’t mind the colour, or a variety
of tastes, but…
there was that Brussel Sprout, the one
with its cut bottom looking upward,
at him.
“It’s mocking me,” he’d thought, as his
fork was brought into the fray, its tines
sharp enough to pierce many a cooked
vegetable.
And gently he pushed the offending, green
miscreant sprout, to the edge of his plate;
hoping he’s none in his teeth, as after a long
wait, he’d finally got a date.
