Beyond the Limits of a Narrow Plate

My Dinner is served,
    It plies itself warm and inviting
     within the confines, sadly,
      of a too narrow plate ~~~

It can be enjoyed, certainly;
    and will be, certainly - 
     but, some will be lost.

Overboard!! Potato fragments off 
    the starboard; vegetables too 
     far aft; meat is safe, though.

A too narrow plate cannot
    contain the entirety of a
     good and substantial dinner.

    And rescue of the lost parts
     must be done in secrecy
      and in accordance with manners

All for the limits of a too narrow plate ~~~
