À la carte

The salad’s bid farewell to muscle tone,
the soup sprawls apathetic in the dish,
the roast is spavined gristle, fat and bone,
the snickerdoodles aftertaste of fish.

The soup sprawls apathetic in the dish,
not caring whether it is slurped or sipped.
The snickerdoodles aftertaste of fish;
at least no one can call them nondescript.

Not caring whether it is slurped or sipped,
the wine lolls nonchalantly in the glass.
At least no one can call them nondescript
who choose to give this restaurant a pass.

The wine lolls nonchalantly in the glass
hinting at bare feet trampling out the juice.
Who choose to give this restaurant a pass
will never be accused of self-abuse.

Hinting at bare feet trampling out the juice,
the salad’s bid farewell to muscle tone.
You’ll never be accused of self-abuse
for shunning roasted gristle, fat and bone.
