Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Whine 'Em and Dine 'Em

  
	     Dining in or dining out
                 Of course, without a doubt

              Again, dining in or dining out
                 Yes, we both prefer bass to trout

               Once more, dining in or dining out
                  We find the ale a wee bit stout

               Awaiting your answer, dining out or dining in
                  Aha! But that we need to think about ,,,

               Waiter... O, Waiter... Excuse us, waiter
                  ~ What’s with the fertilizer-eating grin

Bj Legros Kelley May 7, 2026 at 4:43 PM Eek, that would maybe end the dinner, the waiter with the fertilizer eating grin, lol! Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:20 PM Bj, your comment is priceless. Thanks, gw Bj Legros Kelley May 7, 2026 at 5:28 PM Assumption here, was it his breath?

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 7, 2026 at 8:53 AM Hello Gershon, two people circling the same question just to enjoy the circling. And that last line is perfectly timed. The waiter’s grin feels like he’s been listening to the whole debate and knows more than he should. Darn, nosy waiters! :) Blessings, Daniel Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:22 PM I don't like it either when the waiter's nose fertilizes. lol.

Heidi Sands May 7, 2026 at 6:29 AM Lol. I don't eat many kinds of fish. Going out to eat is a luxury for me. I enjoyed your poem. I hope you have a nice day :) Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:26 PM Heidi, going out to eat is only attractive when it's not within reach, i think. I've been years and years when I couldn't afford to, and years and years when I could --- and didn't. ~ gw

Sara Kendrick May 7, 2026 at 6:23 AM Creative and humorous work you have penned in this one, Gershon. I am not fond of bass or trout because of the stronger fish flavor, but I do like other fish from the sea or from fresh water. I think eating fish at least once a week is good for most people. I hope the waiter would serve you with a smile though. Sara K Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:30 PM Heh-heh. Personally, I eat fish for the 'hal-i-but.' ~ gw

Yann Rolland May 7, 2026 at 4:50 AM so ironic poem, but you made me hungry, so nice sharing , thanks Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:30 PM Irony of ironies... Thanks, Yann.

Karen Jones May 6, 2026 at 10:22 PM lol! Cute. Perhaps the bigger the grin the bigger the tip! Gershon Wolf May 7, 2026 at 8:32 PM Perhaps... Sounds fishy to me though. lol. ~ gw
