I'Ll Take the Tall, Dark and Handsome, Oh, I Mean Coffee, To

She looked shyly at him from behind her menu His eyes were a baby blue that sent chills Through her whole body; she could melt right here And have that waitress he’s talking to mop her up Typical Barbie doll type with an pretentiously Effervescent personality that makes you want to Roll your eyes and scoff--The environment they Were in was a hustle and bustle type of place Where time waits for no man...as soon as people Were done eating, they were cleared out and Another party was ushered in “It is essential to business that you eat, Order and then leave.” The Barbie Doll waitress’ Nasal twang only served as a catalyst for Her frustration--She kept peering over her Menu at the Adonis that kept her enraptured “Well Honey, what’s it gonna be?” Barbie’s voice oozed of impatience Not taking her eyes off The Gorgeous One, She replied softly, “I need more time.” Barbie’s demeanor escalated from Impatience to hysterical--“More time! Honey, you gotta order, or you gotta go!” As the hand went to the waist And the hip thrusted out. Now she had enough of this witch and her Attitude---Why couldn’t she just go somewhere Nice to eat and be able to enjoy the view? “No, I don’t gotta go---You do! She exclaimed As she stood up, knocking her bag to the floor; Menu flailing back and forth You are SO nasty, why would I want to eat Here? You probably SPIT in the food!” The waitress stood back, aghast What evolved next was most of the patrons Getting up and leaving; unpaid checks and Half-eaten plates the fallout of this outburst The owner, who tried to assure people there was No saliva in the food, bellowed for the waitress To get into his office while the rest of the staff Scurried around trying to recover from the Losses they incurred As she took a deep breath, picked up her Bag and her dignity, The Gorgeous One Came from behind, put his arm around her And smiled “That was the greatest thing I ever saw, He said as his eyes shone intensely on her What’s your number?” And she felt like a Rocket flying to the Moon Elation to go.........with a side order of Breathless
