at the table, with you

arqios

.

 

 

Thereupon a banquet spread
delectable dishes arrayed
greens, meats, fruit, and wine
marine, fowl, farm, and vine

Alongside me your visage bright
imbibing, ingesting, we sup
from selfsame platter dine
my heart yours and yours mine

    'Alongside me your visage bright'
    a great read, thank you

    Ben Jonson would be proud

      Kind of you to say so, L.B. Good ole Ben is one of the greats. And his 'inviting' is quite classier than this offering but nice of you to think so. /Rik.
