Inviting a Friend to Supper (by Mitch Sisskind)

 
Of Wittgenstein here’s all I know and
All you need to know, my dear friend:
‘I don’t care what I eat as long as it’s
‘The same thing every day.’ Genau!
Thus spake the great philosopher!
So don’t expect Cornish game hen
Chez moi. I was raised on Swanson’s
Chicken pot pies and the only change
Now is we’ll have the Stauffers brand
Plus an enormous orange Jell-o mold
Which in the days my youth signified
Gemütlichkeit, as the great philosopher
Might say. Dessert will be fig newtons
And I’ll ask you to please bring the wine.
