Good afternoon, my dears. Well, it would seem to be that time of day
again. What most people know (assuming "knowledge" can be defined) as
"lunchtime." So what are you having? Pizza? Hot dog and fries? A
Cheesy enchilada? Burger and chips? Soggy tunafish sandwich?

Yes, lunchtime. I watch each day as students and colleagues alike
celebrate this time to...escape learning and gorge themselves. I wish,
at such times, that all nourishment would take the form of liquid in a
diminutive yet elegant glass.

So how does yours truly spend his "lunchtimes" you ask? That just
happens to be the subject of today's poem! Enjoy!

"Lunchtime"

by RAG Seely

While others go to feast on lunch
I peer into the skies
While you may join some noisy bunch
I say to humans, "Bye."

My colleagues put their notes away
And saunter towards the 'Caf'
While hunger pangs lead them astray
I scan the sky for crafts

Pre-cooked lunches are all some seek
They mob Seven 'Leven
Though on the surface I am meek
I reach towards the heavens

While others mob commissaries
And reach for steaming trays
I probe ancient mysteries
Above the mortal fray

Runnnerr...
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your "poetry" still blows

I don't see any reference to maths.

Unless you want to include "Seven 'Leven"
