The Derogatory Diner

There was a chef named Luke,
All of his entrees were nuked.
In every dinner he planned,
All of his food was canned,
And most of his patrons puked.

Now many patrons inquired,
Why this chef was never fired,
But his boss was anemic,
and very bulimic,
Which is why Luke was hired.

This Diner's reputation lags,
But the owner always brags,
That his dining auditorium,
is a modern vomitorium
With no need for doggie bags.

This great 'gas', as we would say in Ireland - gas meaning fun.

How funny, Robert! Hope this isn't a true story; I wouldn't want Luke in my kitchen. Thanks for suggesting we read the poem by Ms. Newton. It was so moving. Your limerick series would make a great entry for the giggles contest! Wishing you success always. Love, Carolyn
