A Lovely Late Lunch A Poem


There is a man who
Likes my writing.
He has read my books
And has said they
Affected him deeply.

I am flattered
Like you wouldn't believe.
I have not had someone
Read all my books
In their entirety
Since a friend did last year.
Other folks have read them
In bits and pieces.

He has wanted to meet me
And so finally we agreed
To go to lunch at a place
In my city.
He had to drive quite the distance
An hour and half usually
But longer with traffic.
Which wouldn't you know
Was the case the day
Of our get together.

He was running late
Which was fine with me
I had nowhere else I had to be.
He arrived at nearly 3
And had a beautiful orchid plant
I was so very happy
To receive such a gift.
It was white and purple
And in a good size pot.
I put it on my screened in porch
Where it would be secure.

We decided on Fridays
As we wanted to watch part
Of the Yankees/Red Sox game
We were not sure our first choice
Of Longhorn steak house
Would have sports on TVs.

We took a seat
In the area by the bar
So I could watch the TV monitor
With the game coming on
In less than an hour.

Our waitress was named Marielle
And she was quite efficient
She gave us our menus
And asked us what we would
Like to drink
My friend said he wanted a margarita
I thought to try his choice.
I chose one of passion fruit
He chose a regular
Although I am not sure
That was the term.

Mmmmm it was delicious
With it's rim of .
It was a little different
Than the one's that have
A rim with salt.

We were undecided on food
But then came up with our choices
We started off with the sampler
Of an appetizer
Which had glazed boneless wings
Mozzarella sticks
Potato skins
And sticks of celery
Along with various dips
Including sour cream,
Ranch dressing
Marinara sauce
And blue cheese.

My friend decided on the flat iron steak
Which came with mashed potatoes.
I chose the shrimp and lobster pasta
That had bacon bits
And asparagus in the mix.

We had a wonderful conversation
We chatted about any and everything.
We discussed our families
He was a dad and grandfather
I was not so fortunate
In having of my own
But my siblings and their
I love and adore.

He was a recent widower
And that weighed heavily on him.
He spoke of the care
He had taken of his wife
Throughout the years.
It showed what kind
Of man he is.
Which I surmised to be
Kind and decent.

We had another round
Of margaritas
This time I chose mango flavor.
Once again I liked the taste
I could get hooked.
But that is not
What I would like to happen
I will savor a drink
From time to time.

Our lunch was lovely
That was indeed the truth.
I hope my friend felt the .
We had discussed possibly
Meeting up again
For a blues festival
A week away.

He had a long drive home
I was glad he had the radio on
With the remainder of
The Red Sox Yankees game
He texted me at the conclusion.
Our Sox were victorious.
As a fan of sports can appreciate.
It made the day much sweeter.
