Earlier days, it was a rare feat
To visit restaurants for a treat
As days went by, eateries flourished
More people happily embraced.
Those living alone ate food outside
A few managed to cook with pride
Though they preferred home food
Some had left their neighbourhood.
Nowadays eating out is a fad
Weekend outings aren't so bad
Youngsters eat out even on weekdays
They are stressed to cook anyways.
There's a viable alternative now
If they can't go out somehow
They can order as they like online
Food comes home in their timeline.
Takeaways from eateries are allowed
Buy what you like to avoid crowd
Go home or anywhere to eat at leisure
Enjoy dining in comfort together.
One can also engage a cook at home
And save time to enjoy the freedom
S/he will prepare food as you desire
You can eat peacefully and retire.
There's a still better option on hand
Readymade foods are on demand
One can buy them in nearby store
Just 'heat and eat' and nothing more.
There are bakeries and sweet shops
Who sell cakes, pastries, savouries
And street vendors selling chaats
That cheer up our taste buds.
There are soft drinks and fruit juices
That contain sugar to add calories
These may quench our sudden thirst
But they may affect our health first.
Eat three meals is doctor's command
For long hunger one cannot withstand
This doesn't mean eat outside food
Preferably eat at home which is good.
