Food is Good, Food is Nice

Food is good,

food is nice.

But so is wood

and so are mice,

if you’re a carpenter

or cat, respectively.

And come to that,

objectively

(if come to that

we have),

what salve does that

sad creature

at your knee seek

to assuage his real

or metaphoric injury –

while you consume

your sandwich?

Is there something

than which 
there's no better solace

than a sandwich

to appease him?

Perhaps. But it’s not

up to you

to please him.
