TTWAS the Night of Dinner Club

I decided to try my hand at blogging in a poem.

Twas December Dinner Club and all thru the town
The restaurants were all booked
Giving Josh a big frown
He searched the Plaza listings with longing and care
In hopes of finding a place, with eight sturdy chairs
The pups were all nestled in his and Erin's warm bed
With visions of dog treats dancing in their heads.
Josh and Erin sat down, armed with Wi-Fi
They finally found a restaurant, and let out a sigh.
Over the internet, he sent out an email
Alas, gassies, I did not fail.
Head down to the plaza and do not dally,
for vegetarian dining, at Eden's Alley.
Like a little old lady, so lively and quick
I headed to Peculiar, lickety split.
I picked up Grandpa and headed to town
To pick up Beth, who had to limp around.
Now Josh Now Erin
On Linda and Sara
On Justin and Luke
And everyone there
To the top of the ramp
To the top of the garage
Find a spot, Find a spot
Any spot at all

I walked and walked, the looked about
I had found the door and that was no doubt
Into the dining chamber, I did walk
With my coat and my purse and a small piece of chalk
I soon sat down with my companions near
Of whom many, had already ordered a beer
I check the menu for the variety of wine
And when I saw the prices, I started to whine.
Though high as they were, I ordered a glass
The original shock, had already passed.
The waitress was agreeable, a right jolly girl
Which always makes dining, a pleasurable pearl.
A wink of her eye and a nod of her head, soon let me know I had nothing to dread.
Back to the menu for one final look, I chose several items, to inspire the cook.
A soup make of pumpkin and a variety of spice.
A nice little salad, with nuts and apples sliced.
Lastly, I chose a sandwich with cheese and ended my order with a jolly ol' please.

She spoke a few words and went straight to work
Taking our orders, with nary a quirk.
With a bit of delay, our food did finally appear,
We began to eat, with a good deal of cheer.

Farm to Market Bread on the cheese that was grilled.
My favorite bread and I was quite thrilled.
The soup so tasty, I am sure you do know
I had it packed up, so I could take it to go.
The salad was fresh and apples so crisp, I added it to my home to go list.
We each took a turn to critic the new
I gave the place a 4.2.

As we set at the table, awaiting our checks,
It arrived as one, and we exclaimed what the heck!
To the cashier we flew, one at a time,
Waiting for them to ring up each line.
There was some confusion and it seemed quite a mess
It seems we doubled the time and they got more, not less.

This brings my verse, near the last line
I am changing their score to a 3.9..
Happy Dining to all and I will see you next time
