Meals Suddenly Appeared

I was seated at a large table.
It was in a huge hotel ballroom.

Then the word was given from the podium.
Meals suddenly appeared for all the banquet guests.

Servers stream in carrying trays.
Each tray is full of plates.
Each plate has a lovely arrangement of delicious food.

Guests begin to enjoy the feast.
Untold hours of planning and cooking pay off.

Pleasant conversations rise and fall.

Tea and water are refilled.

Empty plates are taken.

Coffee is served.

Then the round of speakers for the evening begins.
