Sit at the table
And look things over carefully No decision here should be made lightly There’s tons of variety So many things you could have And lots of options to choose from You could pick two You could even do more than that But it would cost you Lots of money And lots of time You might even mess around and have too much on your plate And here’s the kicker; anything you get you can’t take with you There are no carry out boxes (at least not for the food there aren’t) But you could do it though You could get some samples of what’s offered And expand your taste in a few moments of dabbling But you can only try so much Afterwards you've tested a few new things feel free to try something new or stick with the safe route, and go with what you know You can have this That The other thing you’ve been eyeing for a while (hey…go for it) And if you don’t like what you end up with You could always send it back But that’s a lot of time wasted to start all over again So choose carefully the first time Once you have the desired course you could proceed to take it one step further You can spice it up Sweeten it Give it a bit of twang Savor each bite slowly Rush through it Or just ignore what’s in front of you and socialize with the other patrons Some people come here not just for the food, but for the people The atmosphere The sounds The setting And there's nothing wrong with that The meal isn’t always important Just remember that time is always ticking And that life will close eventually”
