Our Waiter was a Roach

When I saw our waiter I lost my appetite Oh, come on said my husband don’t be so uptight! He is a roach, I said, he could serve without his head. They can run around for days, before they are dead. This one has his head, and he has a great smile. Just order soup – maybe the mushroom or crocodile. I could not bear to eat after seeing the server arrive. Especially when his tentacles took a little dive. They came up flipping soup at the crowd. Oh my gosh! I yelled, and I yelled it loud. My husband said Don’t be so persnickety! But I could not help feeling annoyed said Lee. I ran from the restaurant and stayed inside. It might be the last time I ever venture outside. So whom did door dash send to bring me my next meal? A roach dragging along his left foot and heel.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!! Your husband was too kind. He probably needed Pepto Bismal after his patience and compassion. The whole poem was so funny, but your last stanza was my absolute favorite :)
