Gordo At the Breakfast Buffet

By Elton Camp The manager saw Gordo nearing the café “Hide the all-you-can-eat sign,” he did say Gordo had been to his place before He didn’t want to serve him anymore Three hundred pounds is his weight It’s astonishing the amount he ate Due to how much food he put away They lost the profit of half a day The sign they couldn’t get out of sight Gordo entered with a smile of delight The manager and waitress he did greet “This is my very favorite place to eat!” “The buffet looks good over there Because I’m as hungry as a bear!” Bacon on his plate he piled high A huge serving of ham he did try “Scrambled eggs, I just adore.” Ate a lot and went back for more Gravy and biscuits were on his menu He added grits and home fries, too When they thought he was done Back for more Gordo would run The buffet he soon stripped bare “Put out more, if you don’t care.” While watching what was going on The manager, in despair, did groan After two hours, Gordo went away A quarter tip on his table did lay “If he ever again should come our way, Tell we’re closed,” the manager did say
