Christmas 2016 For Rolly And Bing Poem by RIC BASTASA

i guess we have the
same fate

this christmas facing
a table full of delights

an expensive whisky
that i promise to drink
this day
fried ham, a little macaroni
lettuce and
ceasar's salad with just
bare hands

we have sushi and sashimi
as usual
persian bread and
turkish condiment

then we'll have the
picture
first solemn then
the wacky shot with

our fat wives.

Just
a table for two
the servants are at home
with their
families in the mountains.
