Not In Business Right Now
When choosing my favorite restaurant,
I was not prepared for such a rude taunt.
The waiters were doubling as the hostess.
"Just a sec!" one called rather non-chalant.
After delay of six-hundred seconds,
an anxious diner behind us beckons,
"How long is the wait?" A barmaid appears
"Why don't you just seat yourself? " she reckons.
Taking no chances on a longer time wait
guessing the service would not be first-rate,
I ventured to announce, "I'm out of here!"
She yelled, "A choice I can appreciate."
