Wednesday at the Diner

Let's go out tonight...

“It’s been a long half-week, my dear,

Let’s get a hump-day treat.”

So we headed to the diner

To get a bite to eat.

 

We talked and ate and laughed with ease

Sharing ‘My day was…’ narration

And laughed together when a guy outside

Practiced nasal excavation

 

And as we savored diner pie,

Cherry crumb and banana cream,

I thought about how simple it is

To realize Life’s supreme.

Not bad. Good use of rhyme and some clever word choice here and there, especially in the second stanza. Very simple, of course, but from a purely technical standpoint you've done well. Good work.

here we go again with food....hmmm, you're a foody, aren't you? i hate it when i am having dinner in a public place and some a*****e is outside blowing snot rockets out of his nose. other than that, i enjoyed the narration and the meal. again, Rita is the master of making the everyday unique and fun!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you for the nice review! I think every day IS unique and fun! :) Yes, I do enjoy food - it's one of the fun things about each day! And our nose guy wasn't blowing (disgusting enough), but digging like he was Louis Leakey!

omg! he was Liberace's little brother, Boogerace!

[Rita L. Sev]

I am actually laughing out loud at that! Wouldn't his rings hinder his progress? I mean, this guy was in up to his third knuckle...

[quinfinn]

you're thinking inside the box/about Liberace, he wore the rings. Boogerace, on the other hand (pun intended) wore no rings to enhance his reaching abilities....

[Rita L. Sev]

Ah... you are right, of course. Liberace, sparkling in sequins, and Boogerace, he's more into a ripped overalls and crusty mucous kind of fashion. Got it. :P

precissimo!
