I Found A Hair In My Eggroll

I found a hair in my egg roll  
                    Lipstick was left on my glass 
Discounted prices, no wonder
                      Bean curd is giving me gas

Cracks in the dishes are nothing
             Cracks in the seats are too much
My bottom’s nearly deflated  
              Next thing, the floor it will touch

Speaking of floors, they’re so sticky
               My foot stepped out of my shoe
An hour you’ve been in the bathroom  
                 Search party’s looking for you

Get me the check, where’s my cookie
                 Ugh, there’s no fortune inside
Chow Mein is starting to rumble
              Yuk! I think something has died

Too funny Mike...I have to make this a favorite. I also had to read it to my wife and we were laughing hysterically. I could barely read it while maintaining a semblance of normal expression.

What a terrible experience. Always let your nose be your guide. If a restaurant doesn't smell squeaky clean, don't go. I did enjoy the laughter this poem gave. The funny, rhyming story is riveting.

One must be careful where one goes for lunch or dinner. Some places are a disgrace. At least here in Malta, we have regular inspections.
