Daily Special
Your
options are on the menu card.
Hey, what’s
cooking? The tasty scoop.
Take your
pick on the chopping board,
choose strife
or an easy life.
Fail to choose,
the waiter will serve you
the chalkboard’s
Meal of the Day.
Use your chopsticks
wisely
in the dessert
you fall into.
You might
work your way up
over
decades of hard graft
only to
lose it all in a day,
walk a
different road
cos your
usual one is closed.
Today’s culinary
options are limited,
the economy
constricted,
leaving a
shortage of ingredients:
just the
one meat course.
Hold your
nose if you can’t swallow.
The other
diners want to know
how it
tastes.
