Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

A Cafe' Conundrum

Away in a cafe’
                 No menu to read
Despite my misgivings
                   I heartily plead

 How am I to order
              This borders abuse
Such abhorrent service
         Bears no sound excuse  
 
And yet I continue
              At last, here to see
Is this a computer  
              Tossed rashly at me

Oh, how disappointing
               An entree’s run out
And yet I can smell it
             A fish dish, no doubt
 
But I shall not settle
                 I’ll leave this cafe’
McDonald’s just is not
              Worth all this, I say!

Terry Flood July 31, 2023 at 3:38 PM Haven’t been to Maccy Ds for years… the only things I miss are the sausage and egg McMuffin and banana milkshake. But since they came up with touch screen ordering, I just can’t be bothered! Congrats on your win, Mike. You’re right… it’s just not worth it.

Charles Messina July 12, 2023 at 6:38 AM LOL- As I was reading this, the first thing I thought of was "McDonalds" I hate that NEW computerized menu. Wendy's is at the top of my list now (lol) Happy Wednesday, my friend! PS: Remember- not too much fast food...it's a killer. Charlie Mike Gentile July 12, 2023 at 11:51 AM Agreed, thanks Charlie !!
