Food is the way to a man's heart

So, one fine day, I was in a mall, waiting for my friend who made me wait for good one hour, well, yes, there can be bad consequences of being punctual. So after a long day of work, plus the wait for my friend, plus the constant nagging by the security guard for sitting on the floor near the balcony, i slogged myself to the food court.
Here is my experience:




Lonely in a shopping mall
Staring in empty spaces as people take a stroll
It's Christmas time, the place is lighted up
Lights, mistletoe, candy filled cups

I'm spaced out, waiting for my task to start
got nothing to do so I sit down on near the wall of art
And I analyze how my day was long
As I hear in the background a John Lennon song

I get up and start to walk towards the cinema
And the sight of a poster lands me in a dilemma
So I rush to the food court with a smile on my face
And my walk turns into a sprint but I'm not amazed.

I enter and see myself in a land of food
The fragrance of it all elevates my mood
The Pizzas, the Pastas, the burgers and coleslaw
The noodles, fried chicken, I'm struck by awe!!

I pull out my wallet and mindlessly pay
Greedily filling up as if I won't live another day
I'm too full to think of the dessert till I hear
My brain say even in a full bus, there's space for the driver

So I head like a little child to the bakery
Confused I was, but I asked for a chocolate pastry
And now as I m filled, content and can't ask for more
But food is the way to a man's heart, I'm sure.
