Lupper

We are at the end
Of a long line to get
Fish and chips for our lupper,
The meal combining both
Lunch and supper.
We engage the
The young woman
And her mother
Ahead of us
In conversation and
Are soon joined by
Others in the line,
Pleasant talk of
All sorts of
Things.
Time passes quickly
And we all share a long
Table and delicious food
Passing a memorable
Afternoon sharing
Good food and
Conversation,
How pleasant
To enjoy the
Company
Of new
Folks
And
Never
Mention
Politics or
Prejudiced
News media
Editorials on
Sex and violence,
Just the exchange
Of ideas and
Anecdotes
Between
New
Friends,
A gift we give
Ourselves for lupper.
