Poem Title:
Poem
Something had just occurred to me As I sat and talked to Cleetus Magee He was only joking that day I took it serious in an odd, pathetic way He suggested I open my own place for people to eat I began to brainstorm on the cost for food, a/c, electric and heat It hit me like a ton of bricks After eating some Barbecue at Rick's So tonight I will make my play After raiding a few dumpsters, I will have enough to open my leftovers from all over buffet I began by scanning the neighbors trash cans late at night Not much luck, some Sausage Pudding and Tripe Next I will raid Applebee's for some quality food to offer I even found a couple of Golfballs I will give to a friend of mine who is an avid golfer As I was dumpster diving, I had some trouble from a couple of stray cats over three chunks of meat After a fight and I received a few scratches, the cats then leave in defeat I picked up the meat to smell it, free meat my favorite price With a lot of spices, it will be very well disguised Then I moved on to the Noisy Oyster All the seafood was still quite fresh, it contained plenty of moisture I rented a space at a cold storage facility Until I had enough for some business stability With every dumpster raid, my food inventory grew Maybe next would be IHOP, pondering if I should put breakfast items on the buffet too Tonight I open up the doors To a feast no one has ever seen before Just to see the customers go up for seconds or thirds gives me pleasure The saying is true One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure One customer said if he didn't have to go to work he would eat all day Ssh! Please don't reveal my secrets about my leftovers from all over buffet
