A Visit To Contradiction Cafe

Their reserved table was already in use and their solid chair backs were so loose This refined gentleman diner felt quite rough as his tenderloin steak was extremely tough His wife’s jumbo shrimp portion’s so small maybe the huge serving plate’s their downfall Her hot chocolate fudge sundae was served cold and though fresh, there were flecks of green mold She’s complimentary about the poor food although the charming waitress is terribly rude The couple said they’d never come back again then immediately booked for a party of ten!

The nonsense is beautifully brought out through the contradiction cafe. "reserved table was already in use", "solid chair backs were so loose", "charming waitress is terribly rude". Very humorous too. Congratulations!

This sounds like an episode of "Kitchen Nightmares"; I don't think I'd go back either; enjoyed.

A nice witty poem. The funny thing is that people do this in real life. The last two lines are very humorous indeed. Best wishes for the contest.
