COMEDY Poem: DINING & DASHING, by Martha Patterson

My friends, thoughtlessly, said they
Dined on steak and mashed potatoes,
Not thinking of the bill or retribution

Afterwards, the owner approached
And said, “But what about the check?”
But Jerome reported that he only laughed

And answered, “After all, old man,
You’ve got a nice business here –
And a famished man has got to eat!”

My friends quickly made their exit
And drove off without a care –
They already had their stomachs full
