Just Desserts

Soup, salad – appetizers Cookies, cake – desserts Appetizers to whet our appetites Desserts to satisfy them But what if we served desserts first After the entrée, would we still have room for appetizers… Dispense with the appetizers There’s always room for desserts

I always eat dessert first in case I die in the middle of a meal. I am old.

Some of us are ruminants; There's always more room in the pants. We eat and eat until it hurts, But find more room when comes dessert.

I'll have to ruminate over this one, Jeff -- right after I salivate. ~ Jubilate, Gershon

And, if there's any left, I'll gladly take that last piece home with me.
