The Menu

I pull out a menu, pieces by pieces, I turn it over, as my eyes stop from searching, finally I found my favourite drink, however dear, coffee is on the menu, but not the creamer, and I make another decision, I search for an appetizer, but those were too expensive, I cannot afford to eat, so I search for a dessert, but there is an ice cream, with the chocolate topping and vanilla crunchy rice, I swallow my saliva, and my eyes gaze in bright, I take my purse and I am surprise, I have no money for I am ashamed, I stand and go away saying good bye to the menu, on the top of dining table.
