The Diner

The diner had amazing deals For us to have for lunch – But first, a bowl of cole slaw With some pickles, too, to munch. Then lots to choose from – sandwiches, Paninis, salads, platters Preceded by a bowl of soup (3 choices, if that matters). The plates were overflowing and Our bellies almost hurt But the special lunch included coffee And, of course, dessert. The food we didn’t eat they wrapped, Like all good diners would. It really was a super deal – But none of it was good!

Nothing like a blue plate special down at the greasy spoon:) You really got me with your last line. I was so not expecting that. Love the rhyme and the humor, Mrs Ilene:)
