Zombie's Breakfast

He hurled his plate of meat-free food;
The waitress thought him rather rude.

“Full English breakfast here all day
“Or vegetarian, you say.”
The zombie pointed to the sign
And shouted loudly, “I want mine.”

“So bring him here – no, bring me two.
“Oh, what the heck, I’ll start with you.”

“But, sir, you can’t eat me,” she said,
As he was gnawing at her head.
“I’m not a veggie – I eat meat.
“Now please remain there in your seat.

“I’ll get your breakfast; say your grace.
“For twenty dollars, stuff your face.”

She dragged a vegan from the street
And said, “You’re good enough to eat.”
The vegan – soon a zombie too –
Demanded human…in tofu.”

Hilarious!! Just today Deb G. was commenting on your sense of humor, Jack, and now I see this. (He should have just started with the waitress -- LOL) Best wishes in the contest. Don't think anyone will be able to top the humor in this one. Love, Carolyn
