Every Other Table
As restaurants reopen,
Social distance rules in place,
There are choices to be made
About what diners will embrace.
Eliminate some tables?
Cordon off a few with rope?
Well, one owner found a special way
To help his patrons cope.
So at every other table,
As his customers get seated,
They might notice that by mannequins
Their glances will be greeted.
Dressed in costumes of the 40’s,
Looking elegant and frilled,
They create the false impression
That the dining room is filled.
Some may like this new arrangement
With its faux companionship,
But the waiters might object
To their imaginary tip!
