No Tips At That

At the "'Cat in the Hat' 
  where I did dine
     The waiter came over
  and I ordered some wine
 When the waiter returned 
      he started to chat
    We had a chat at the 'Cat in the Hat'

 I looked at the menu
 to see what they had
  I saw a fish, a fish they called shad
 I said to the waiter I'll order that
 I ordered the fish at the 'Cat in the Hat'

 The waiter came back 
 with my fish on a plate
  I tasted the fish
 It tasted great
 The waiter then asked 
 if I was a democrat
 He asked me that question
 At the 'Cat in the Hat'

 I said to the waiter
 "What's it to you"
 I could be a democrat
 Or a republican too
 The waiter got no tip
 He got no tip for that
 He got no tip at the 'Cat in the Hat'
