sometimes when i eat lunch
i ponder, what to add
is it bland? nah
but is it weak? yes!

i add red stuff to my meal
it is hot. not too much!
the aroma of pepper seed
the salt, tingles the tongue

mmm i blow on the top
to cool the rice and chicken
basil leaves, more please
a flavor, as it is in heaven

then down go the onion bulbs
and carrot tangled in egg
many thanks to the chef
a delightful lunch, indeed
