The Restaurant


In the restaurant they greet you
“How many tonight?” they ask
We tell them, “Just two,”
“Follow me...” go about their task
We sit at a table for two
and the highlights of sunset
flood through the window view
we peruse the menu at last
soup du jour and a salad me oui
fine dining as it’s been in the past
and now the waiter slips, you see
a clatter and shatter of dishes
everyone stops and gasps in breath
embarrassed, the waiter wishes
to have it all swept up, what’s left
back to our meal, it’s tasty, dessert?
of course! you silly flirt
