And look, that worked. The specialist
saw, for good or ill, that he had to comply.
But a cruel thirst for vengeance
was reflected in his movements:
on a large sheet of paper
he wrote the names of a hundred delicacies:
"All these," he said, sneering at me,
"you may not eat or drink!
Furthermore, avoid alcohol,
refrain from smoking,
and, of course, stay away from any smoked meats!
Finally" - he seethed with vengeance -
"Please don't forget the most important point:

Beware of all excesses!!!"

And slammed the door behind me.
