Oscar Night Dinner
We stood outside and read the sign:
Two pizzas plus for twenty-nine.
The plus was for a bottle, red,
To sip with food which we’d be fed.
Delicious meal and what a deal!
Can such a bargain be so real?
The answer that we got was yes!
More food, more wine but money – less!
We tossed in a dessert as well.
A tiramisu – what the hell!
So now I’m filled up with a buzz,
The greatest deal that ever was!
There’s just one tiny little glitch –
Tonight there is the Oscars pitch.
With wine and pizza in my gut
I hope my eyes don’t end up shut!
