We Will Never Eat In That Restaurant Again

We Will Never Eat in That Restaurant Again

By Elton Camp

It had a menu that was quite extensive
And it wasn’t actually overly expensive
To give good service the waitress truly tries
She didn’t smack gum or call us “You guys”

The meals we ordered where cooked just right
But the establishment had one really major blight
One so serious that the place we came to abhor
We resolved that we’d never eat there anymore

The family who occupied the very next booth
Had children who were loud and most uncouth
Bits of food across the room the brats flung
One of them, over the booth barrier hung

And we found it not in the least to be a treat
When they slammed back against our seat
They threw so much food onto the café floor
That we would never want to come there more

All during the meal, the no-necks scream & shout
You can easily imagine our annoyance, no doubt
For a while we did fervently hope and believe
That the manager would demand they leave

Maybe he was afraid the group to offend
But the result is we’ll never go there again
Next time, we found a café on down the street
That had a sign that was both sensible and neat

“Unruly children we will absolutely not tolerate.
Of that obnoxious type we have had our bate.”
