The Ritzy Restaurant
The Ritzy Restaurant
By Elton Camp
The valet came out to park our car
Awaiting our table, we sat at the bar
The hostess escorted us to our table
“Reeves will come when he’s able.”
The tablecloth was of linen so bright
Fine china & sparkling silver a delight
I was wearing my best coat and tie
To come informally, I wouldn’t try
Reeves in his tux minced to our tableside
Didn’t try to hide an expression so snide
I could tell by the way he rolled his eyes
That we’d never eaten there he did apprise
With a voice so haughty he then did say,
“I recommend that you try our fine pate.
We cater here to the best people in town
As you will see if you just look around.”
Movement under a table caught my attention
But I decided it would be best not to mention
Since I saw that what he said was so true
For Mr. Cockroach was eating there too
