Equinox celebration

A month ahead of time you made your plan
So you won’t mourn some nasty lapse today –
Ingredient missed, utensil gone astray
A lack of napkins, no paella pan.

Allow some pork to marinate in brine,
Enough to cater for a hungry crew;
Sit down and watch a movie, then renew
Your focus on the dinner’s grand design.

Of ripe September fruit collect a hoard.
Sauté the meat in onion’s sweet embrace;
Aromas smelt will tease the waiting horde.
Refresh their drinks, pass round the canapés
Spread out a festive cloth upon the board,
And now invite your guests to take their place.
