A Farewell Ode to the Sandwich


O savoury flavours betwixt thick slices of bread,
Colourful slivers of succulent fillings.
Plates adorned with crispy coleslaw, cups of soup, 
slender salads and heaps of fries.

Our appetite is sated!
The quest is complete!
Farewell loyal followers!
Hail to the mighty sandwich!

Losing its flavour

In this sea of green rug, we share our sandwiches...a Patty Melt on Rye and a Monte Christo. The arttle of a shopping cart goes by as we eat. There are bright orange cupcakes under an acrylic lid. This place opens at 8am seven days a week.          D.



Seated at Table No.9, we looked down on people as they strolled through the mall. Nearby, large golden fish cruised under an arched walkway. We decided to share our unimaginative sandwiches. The restaurant had emptied by the time we left at 2:45pm. There were still three orange and yellow iced cupcakes for sale under an acrylic lid...$2.50 each!! Out of the corner of my eye I saw a skunky hairdo pass by. Would I return?...I hope not.            L.
