Michelle Faulkner Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Yes, this really happened to me a couple of weeks ago!

Ask Twice For Ice

At lunch, I wanted a simple iced tea
But a tea with ice was not meant to be
The glass, smoothly tall
Held no cubes at all
Where all my ice went, was a mystery!

The waitress (who was not very nice)
Lectured, my request was imprecise
You must specify
For ice to supply
Next time, order your iced tea with ice!

Lindsay Laurie August 3, 2019 at 10:52 PM Hello Michelle … sometimes you wonder don't you. You order iced tea, but you have to ask for ice - weird! Thanks Michelle - Lindsay Michelle Faulkner August 15, 2019 at 5:37 PM It does seem redundant - thanks for your comment, Lindsay!

Gershon Wolf August 3, 2019 at 10:41 PM Hilarious, Michelle! I wonder if this waitress' reasoning extends to 'mashed potatoes?' LOL. Enjoyed! :) gw Michelle Faulkner August 15, 2019 at 5:35 PM It would not surprise me!
