Still Valentine

I've rescued from the garbage
A still-good piece of sausage
And a couple of mustard packets
And saved a perfectly fresh
Half a loaf of bread and
A yellow apple not half-bad
You bring some water from the lake
And breath a little fire into life
And we'll coax a cup of coffee
From these thrown-out grounds
And after we have feasted to the full
For dessert I'll take you to the woods
Where a thousand trillium bloom
If your soul still has room
