Tonight’s Menu
Taste, Try and Swallow It
An appetizer should be the prep
For a meal that will be a first step.
- Drinks (an aperitif or two)
*
Sides will have to be such
That their taste is not too much.
- Snacks or a soup for you
*
The entrees are what you’re waiting for;
An empty belly and her words opened the door.
- Chicken or fish? That’ll do
*
You don’t hear her over dessert, right?
She stares out the window (a quiet night).
- Cheesecake is better than tiramisu
*
Coffee or tea before you pay?
Before she leaves? Already, she’s on her way…
- One espresso, just for you
*
