Food Poem - Owen Meredith
Cannot live without cooks
We may live without poetry, music, and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books,—what is knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope,—what is hope but deceiving?
He may live without love,*-what is passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live without dining?
From Lucile, Part 1., Canto ii., Stanza 24
By Owen Meredith; Pen Name Of Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton.
- I may say we cannot live wihtout chefs....:-)
