When recession or inflation hits,
It’s my tummy that feels it first!
No eating out, no food deliveries,
No take-outs, no fast food meals.
Though that’s hardly my thing!
No onion, garlic, ginger or spices,
No coffee, milk or tea, just water,
No dessert or a whole banana, just half,
No two fried eggs, just one,
No one bowl of rice, just half,
No two dishes, just one…
No 110 lbs me, just 101!
And Grandma’s gentle voice through it all:
“Thank you, Lord, for this food at your table.”
