what was on the menu

we pretty
much
knew what we weren't having
for dinner.
lobster thermidor,
T-bone steaks,
some fancy French dish,
with wild ducks
and small
potatoes, petite peas.
Julia Childs
never came to our house.
no.
peanut butter
was on the menu.
bologna sandwiches
on wonder bread with a swipe
of yellow mustard.
spaghetti
and hamburger
helper.
tuna casserole
and pea soup with a ham
bone
floating inside.
maybe Cheerios
with a sliced banana
if milk
was around.
