Eat At Joe's

Eat At Joe’s Pop owns the Greasy Spoon Cafe It’s just around the corner Just down the road He’s 95 and still alive From eating at Joe’s You know, his brother Joe, his twin and 95 also His joint is right around the other corner Just down the road I guess I gotta warn ya Joe’s got hot dogs too But they’re not blue like Greasy Spoons Ready to walk out the door on their own Like some strange life forms There are some questions about rubber bands that persist Found in soups at Pops One day I discovered a tooth in one of his fine dishes It was still delicious and the tooth belonged to Pop He said, “No extra charge”….. “Keep the fossil” There are no menus at Greasy Spoon All plates are made from memory Something Pop lost long ago We all love Pop lots and lots but true is true So my advice to you Is Eat At Joe’s (You know... the other twin brother's place) It’s just around the corner from the other corner Just down the road Please… Eat At Joe’s for your own safety sake Tell um I sent ya because I know what I knows. Eat At Joe's Entered in the past for Kelly Deschler's Contest "JUST DOWN THE ROAD" re-entered here for her contest "My Last Contest" on 1/27/15

awww, this is really nostalgic and funny at the same time. I really like it!! you should work in the phrase "down the road" somehow and use it for the contest on down the road. I think it would do fantastic.

Good afternoon Andrea. I would have not gotten a win in this contest if you did not tell me about it. Thank you for heading me in the direction of, "just down the road." I am very grateful. Have a great day and thanks again. Earl
