Dinner for two, don’t mind if I do

I’d like you to bring me a dinner for two -
A serving for me and a serving for you.
I’ll order up something that we two can share.
Please bring it, then sit with me! Pull up a chair!

Well thank you for asking, I’ll sit for a while
While taking your order and sharing a smile
We’ve so many meals that you’ll find are quite grand
Our dinners for two are the best in the land

We’ll start with a salad. I hope you won’t mind 
this salad will be of the specialty kind, 
the kind made of rainchokes and fiddlehead roots,
and topped with wassava and sharkflower shoots. 

A salad, that’s nice, but if I might suggest
The rainchokes this week I can’t say are the best
We’re offering ladle leaves fresh from the stream
With elk’nhorn sauce and some coblefish cream 

And after our salad, we’ll have the main dish:
some Teek Bourguignon, or lardines if you wish
See, it just doesn’t matter what food that we eat,
as long as you join me! Please, pull up a seat!

The Teek Bourguignon and the lardines are fine
But don’t go so well with our Junejelly wine
Our ruffledough stew and the wine make a pair
Why thank you again, yes, I’ll pull up a chair 

Then after our meal, some dessert will be nice;
I’ll order us up some sweet cragberry ice!
We’ll top it all off with some coffee flown in 
especially from the small island of Dwin.

Cragberry Ice is a great thing to try
Though please let me show you our palm scrabble pie
My favorite dish with some coffee from Dwin
And it will not melt when we have it flown in

I’ll thank you, dear waiter, for serving my needs;
I’ll tip you with plenty of Dol-yapper seeds
For, you see, I don’t eat alone, not anywhere!
So bring it, then sit with me! Pull up a chair!  

Our food will be out in a zap-second-zip
And there is no need for a generous tip
This meal here with you is much more than a treat
I’ll go get the salad and pull up a seat
