Ordering Breakfast At the Cafe

I would like peanut butter macaroni and cheese please.
And some tasty mice on my hamburger if it is not too much trouble.
The pancakes should have dollops of garbage and limburger cheese.
He will have a bowl of oatmeal, his mother said, on the double.

The waitress had six children of her own, so she understood well.
With a side of cartwheel and unicorns? She asked the four-year-old.
He was immediately in love, thought she was totally swell.
She could do not wrong now, this mother with a heart of gold.

Oh my, this is superb. I couldn't stop chuckling. That kid was soooo lucky! I'll bet his mother ordered the mice on her hamburger without a hint of a smile...serious as could be. Love it.

There is nothing like a child to shake up adults; but mothers are rarely shaken; experienced mothers anyway.

This is adorable, Caren. I like bacon with my pancakes, and lots of warm Log Cabin syrup.
