Waiter

Waiter please bring me some wine.
Then you may take your time
to bring me food that is divine.

Waiter, I'll tell you what I feel.
I would like a marvelous meal.
Can you tell me what's the deal?

Waiter from The Cat in the Hat.
Can you tell me where it's at?
Remember I don't eat fat.

Waiter bring me something lean.
Fish perhaps with loads of greens.
Home cooked, not from a machine.

Waiter I have given in.
To hell with trying to be thin.
My chances were already slim. 

Waiter, I can no longer hide it
I'll have some pudding I've decided.
With lots of cream beside it.

Waiter you have served me well.
That meal was scrumptiously swell.
You're good at this, I can tell.

Waiter please bring me my bill.
I best leave as I'm hungry still.
Can I pay up at the till?

We have a local cafe with yummy cakes Darren. I sometimes buy a slice of sponge to takeaway. To pretend I'm being good, I divide it in two at home, eat half then and the other later. Double the thrill if you will.

I have been feeling uninspired recently Arthur. Writing this actually changed my mood from dull to delighted. It's not a great poem but I had such a laugh doing it. Does this mean I am egocentric?
