Poem Title:
Poem
Morning The Innkeeper checked his watch once again Hoping the chef's feelings weren't hurt. The last time they were, he arrived two hours late And then left, serving just his dessert. Sadly the chef, on this day of all days Turned up filthy, flies open and drunk. A black cat meowed as the chef stumbled in; He was unkempt and cursing and stunk. The Innkeeper's head sank deep in his hands As he needed his chef to be right. The Tabard was busy and fully booked up And was hosting a meeting that night. Noon To make matters worse, the chef's wife appeared It was NOT what was needed at all. She grabbed at chef's hair and kicked open his shin And threw dishes and plates at the wall. The Innkeeper tried to separate both As utensils flew wild through the air Then chef lost his balance taking with him a shelf And pepper dispersed everywhere. The chef lay there slumped and silent and still He was bloodied and bruised on the floor. His wife and the Innkeeper looked at each other As chef sneezed and then let out a snore. Night With her husband in clinic the chef's wife revealed The reason as to why he was mad: - "Earlier that day he had finally found out He was not my child's natural dad. He took all of my money and spent it on drink And the police were then sadly involved. He falsely accused me of harming my son And that issue has not been resolved." Later That Night Nobody ate at The Tabard for nights But the Innkeeper learnt something instead: - "..So I am your lover AND the father as well" He said smiling to chef's wife in bed.
