Chinese Love

Felt a little hungry one Saturday So I followed the herd to a place where the staff had little to say It was called The Grand King Bufffet Just $4.99 was all I had to pay The place was packed America's finest this place did attract All God fear'n, hard work'n, typical Strip Mall townsfolk Why thank you yes I will have a diet coke Go ahead eat your fill That is why God gave us freewill I was greeted by a smiling Asian Girl A female Oriental Pearl She led me to a booth I think she sensed I had a sweet tooth I could see all kinds of deserts But I feared if I stepped in the food mob would hurt So I started with the hot and sour soup I could smell the Love as I scooped They really do a great job Feeding all of us over fed snobs On my way back to my booth I passed some people leaving I glanced at their table seeing but not believing I sat down and finished my bowl Now the sesame chicken was my goal I passed two more empty tables then sat down to eat my fill I took my last bite raised my hand and asked for my bill Only $4.99 for this feast How the Chinese love feeding the American Mini Mall Beasts I felt guilty leaving only two bucks for a tip But that was more than most of my fellow diners what a Gip It is easy to deny tipping to our Asian Sister and Brother But remember one good turn deserves another So the next time you head to your favorite Buffet place Please remember it's about time we save our American Face For God sake if you are fed well Leave a tip and say to your host farewell
