Dinner in Florida

The waitress was clueless,
The noise level high
And two of us waited for meals,
While the rest of us, hungry,
Did gingerly eat,
Yet still, restaurant dining appeals…

For we all sat together
And ate what we liked -
I had fries with my sandwich and beer;
When you’re visiting family,
You gather around
And enjoy having everyone near.

Being with family and friends is what it is all about. Family, fries, sandwich, and beer. Sounds like a great time to me, my friend.

Nothing beats time spent with family Ilene, despite the noise and a clueless waitress. Tom

A nostalgic and sweet poem of family, it was comforting. I hope the food was good since you had to wait so long.
