A buffet of flavors

Have You ever been writing notes from a board

Only, on the inside, to be truly bored

Sometimes it rather stinks

That we have to ignore and suppress our natural instincts

What kind of things did You daydream?

Are some of You living them now, or pent up behind Your seams?

What was Your fancy? What was Your taste?

Did You take action to chase those dreams, did You make haste?

Which did You wish to enjoy from a buffet of flavors?

What have You enjoyed and satisfyingly savored?

Did You enjoy ripe melons, full and heavy with juices?

Were You a fan of clams and their culinary uses?

Or were You more a fan of rump roast

And were others jealous of Your meals, to boast?

If not were You more a fan of baguettes, a fresh loaf of bread.

With some nice aioli sauce that You can nicely spread?

Are pastries You desire? A Long John with icing?

Stuffed with cream and sweet just to Your liking?

When it comes to a world of flavor and taste

Maybe time in class is what we shouldn't waste?

Getting lost in thought, time slips through our hands.

Caught off guard then asked by the teacher to stand.
