Dining At the Diaria Buffet

Dining at the Diaria Buffet By Elton Camp Even though it isn’t spelled the same, Much is wrong with this buffet name Its name in your mind is bound to stick For it suggests it might make you sick Nothing the place serves can be a delight Because you think about germs every bite As a good example of just what I mean You’ll wonder if the kitchen is clean Or thinking, “Oh, I hope, oh please No employee is a carrier of disease.” You’ll look about to seek out detection Of the health department’s latest inspection Everything about the eatery you will hate “Is that clumps of dirt I see on my plate?” “The taste of this meat seems a little wrong. I hope to some sick old cow it didn’t belong.” You will be quite anxious to get out the door And will resolve never to come there anymore (Yes, there actually is a buffet with this name)

Thanks for reading. It is incredible what people name eating places. Sometimes it is people for whom English is a second language and they simply don't realize how it sounds. Elton
