Dining at the Diaria Buffet

 

By Elton Camp

 

Even though it isn’t spelled the same,

Much is wrong with this buffet name

 

Its name in your mind is bound to stick

For it suggests it might make you sick

 

Nothing the place serves can be a delight

Because you think about germs every bite

 

As a good example of just what I mean

You’ll wonder if the kitchen is clean

 

Or thinking, “Oh, I hope, oh please

No employee is a carrier of disease.”

 

You’ll look about to seek out detection

Of the health department’s latest inspection

 

Everything about the eatery you will hate

“Is that clumps of dirt I see on my plate?”

 

“The taste of this meat seems a little wrong.

I hope to some sick old cow it didn’t belong.”

 

You will be quite anxious to get out the door

And will resolve never to come there anymore

 

 

(Yes, there actually is a buffet with this name)
