Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Literary Lunch

I have to say that Shakespeare
Wasn’t really on my mind.
I scanned the menu, wondering
What lunch deals I might find.

The diner had a special
So I ordered it. Besides,
Who could resist a Caesar salad
Offered on the Ides?

Trevor Mcleod October 24, 2014 at 2:11 PM Another good example of how you broke up a sentence with the word besides. Rhymes good too.

Robert Johnson March 16, 2014 at 4:04 PM Brrrp. That was good. Excuse me. :) Peace. :)

Robert Pettit March 15, 2014 at 4:41 PM Et tu, Brute? Did you know there's a drink called a "Bloody Caesar"? Instead of tomato juice, the vodka is combined with Clamato juice. Another nice write, Ilene.

Robert Andrew Lyle March 15, 2014 at 3:50 PM Yes Ilene The Ides of March you could have waited and had some Mid Summers Night dream topping. Great piece, love your fantastic rhyming. Andy
