Reptiles For Breakfast

I said, “I only eat reptiles for breakfast, if you please.”
Excuse me said the waitress, who started to sneeze.
We waited patiently, except Daddy who ordered peas.
Alligator or crocodile? Waitress asked, on her knees.

We thought this was strange. Mom said “Oh, please!”
Daddy was embarrassed. The table felt a chilly breeze.
After she took our order Mommy said, “She is a little tease!”
Daddy rolled his eyes and said, “Give me a break, geez!”
