At the Resto Depot

I was at Resto Depot today for 
 lunch. I had a miso noodle salad 
 with an Avacado scooped out with two
 scoops of crunchy veggie or no veggie 
 balls . they had exquisite seasoning too. 
 There was much lettuce ,the noodles were cooked.
 There was dried crisp tasty noodles ,thank you.
 I  drank a glass  of water .This dish is 
 a subtle  smooth aged single malt whiskey,
 Hard to eat slowly -I ate it quickly.
 Desert was a cup of cantaloup scoops .

Happiness is the circle  of glad folk,
I sat with six in all three to me spoke.
First folk were two ladies a nice chat  had,
Next dude ignored me I didn’t feel bad.
A dad and son next they ordered a meal ,
They ate quickly: lunch is a sweet deal .
One was a doctor offered free rub down,
I said I live in  the far part of  town.
Our chat was nice  he got up and split,
Noise is an irritable dish : I sit.

Solitude is a silent street.3 bare seats
I was musing when to write my conceits.

Resto Depot  a hip place to hang out
For the in-crowd to be without a doubt.

Could not write my poem -my time was up
I looked at my watch ;my ride picked me up .
