Menu Reality


Don't you just hate reading what seems like the most delicious menu, and then order that one something that totally might rock your world...but, they bring out a plate of thrown together and who knows what they were thinking pile of...

An Iceburg Sunk My Palate

Early bird dinner
Fizzi...wizzi...huh
menu longer than
my dinner guest
hair...but we decide
two cobb salads
extra avocado
crab cake
on the side

our dinner
finally arrives....

Excuse me
waitress...ummm
I could swear
the menu read
Crab Cake Cobb
bacon, avocado
blue cheese
black olives
and over
MIXED GREENS?

As we pick
through
our plate
piled high of
Iceberg nightmare
plenty of black olives
sparse blue crumbles
the puny bacon
lacks and stumbles
half an avocado
reams
underneath the
greasy crab cake
dream

How we
anticipate
but some
of us fail to rate
what is not
viewed by
the back of the house
as menu reality.

So, to this eatery
a careless chef
the poor feeble waitress
BITE ME!
