THE FEAST by Rishika Rathore

Flamboyant champagne bucket,

the nosegay of flowery decor,

the violin began to play

and we sat down for ‘The Feast’.

The waiter served; the starters

the “Mushroom Risotto”,

the “Garlic Sauce”,

the “Meatballs with Chimichurri Sauce”,

and the “Antipasto Platter”,

as the main course.

Soon, my cognition took me

to TikTok, TikTok of Stilettos

to the fragrance of bombshell body mist.

Then I turned around

and saw a pretty, young lady.

After a few gazing-stock moments,

She joined us

and sat just in front of me.

Her lips were uttering the same

Five lettered words – SORRY!

She slashed and struck,

the Knife and Fork

in the Meatballs,

the thrashed and lashed Meatballs

now got mapped into an immersion,

of sauce and soon got

slouched in her mouth.

Still leaving her lips,

‘Pristinely pink’.

The very intake, of her first bite

was satiating as her appearance

and lovely enough,

to replace the deliciousness of the starters,

the “Mushroom Risotto”,

the “Garlic Sauce”,

the “Meatballs with Chimichurri Sauce”,

and the “Antipasto Platter”,

served by the waiter,

in ‘The Feast’.
