Dinner with Myself

Dinner with Myself

A Poem by Andy Ruffett
"

We sometimes don't want to, but sometimes we have to

"

I asked if anyone would like to join me for dinner tonight

They all just sighed and shook their heads

and said they had to study this time

 

I asked the ones who wore pants

and the ones who wore a dress

But it seemed I was out of luck,

so I invited myself as my guest

 

From my experience I have found that he can be pretty nice

He sits there quietly and listens to my advice

He’s always in need when I have problems to solve

And he knows when its time to speak and when its time to shut up

 

And as I got my dinner, he was already there

Helping me pay for the food

And he was never reluctant to share

 

We bought the same meal and ate it at the same time

We drank the same water

and pondered over the same wine

 

Should we drink it or should we not?

It’s a special occasion we say,

Dinner with myself is a time of peace,

so let’s celebrate
