Best Diner Poems

She's a diner girl
A trucker's fantasy
A little bit tough
While being sexy

Sure she likes to flirt
A tool of her trade
She has them dreaming
Thinking they'll get laid

The tips all add up
For dreams of her own
When her shift's over
She goes home alone

You think you know her
She plays the...

She sent back the last order, as well.
This time, she shook her head 
like a dog in the rain,
like a posh-frock woman 
having "a spell."
The brimming broth, she said,
had a bitterness that swelled 
and stung between her cheeks,
and across her tongue.
It steamed with the scent

Clyde's Fine Country Diner is located about a mile south of town.
If you're lookin' fer rib-stickin' grub, its the greatest place aroun'!
Clyde retired after cookin' fer twenty-two years in the U.S. Navy,
Servin' up gobs of SOS, more delicately known as biscuits 'n' gravy!

It ain't a...

There was a chef named Luke,
All of his entrees were nuked.
In every dinner he planned,
All of his food was canned,
And most of his patrons puked.

Now many patrons inquired,
Why this chef was never fired,
But his boss was anemic,
and very bulimic,
Which is why Luke was hired.

This Diner's...

Served with coffee chocolate makes it hotter

Its your cup of Tea brewing the pot screams
With a bit of Raw Honey melted a throat eased

The TV shows
wars and scandal
with big faces 
moving lips
running words
on every wall
while disc jockeys threaten 
bad traffic and weather
through the ceiling.
I slurp my omelet’s florescent cheese 
that strings from mouth to plate,
slug my coffee
and try to catch the waiter’s fast glance
before the street cleaner comes
loaded...

Welcome to the ultimately ethical food restaurant and take away.
All dishes are guaranteed dead, for all plant and animal products and ingredients.
Vegan ethics has been shattered and thrown under a 'food-to-go' bus
By the findings that plants have feelings and get hurt just like us.

A scientist...

This wasn’t requested, but eluded too,
A poem for us, what written by you,
It is different, it’s gonna take time,
Third person writing, composing this thyme,
My name is Kelly, work at L D,
Along with Vanessa, similarities you’ll see,
Both twenty-two, blonde and brunette,
Both date guys, not married yet,
Fifteen...

How many come, 
get gassed, fed, watered, relieved,
and leave the waitresses,
ladies of the all-night
indifferent to day—
a dinner omelet, 
a breakfast cocktail,
where every meal
is any meal,
and bitter coffee
continually flows
from the counter,
where America’s finest ketchup
stands proud behind the sugar,
forever used up,
refilled,
replaced,
changing hands 
like the guest check
turned and...

Though it has stellar moonscapes
And the breathable sand lakes
Gork's place really stewed
With Drakari food
We just like the Tribble cakes...

an automat whose orbs of light
reflect and touch the void of night

a refuge from the twenties’ roar
trapped in her thoughts without a door

a table, cup and gloveless hand
alone together in her land

a bowl of fruit that sits behind:
the 'still life' and her state of mind....

I am standing 
In a line scene
Cuz my body
Needs its caffeine 

And in front of me some dink
Orders a confusing drink
Now he’s changing ‘round his order
With our patients growing shorter

And a sword from
Someone’s pocket
Now sticks through the
Guy’s eye socket

Du du du du 
Du du du...
