Et Tu
I was forwarded a photo
Of a steak knife, firmly stuck
Into salad dressing in a
Plastic bottle; I thought - yuck!
Dressing oozed where it was punctured
And I wondered what it meant,
Then I noticed it was Caesar
And the joke was evident.
For today’s the Ides of March, the date
When Caesar was betrayed,
Stabbed to death by some conspirators
As history was made.
To whoever took that picture,
I applaud your clever take
Since you sacrificed your salad
All for art and humor’s sake.
