Poetry Thursday

 

My friends the Two Spoiled Cats have provided the following photo as inspiration for Poetry Thursday

Since Paul was a boy

With an EZ Bake oven as a toy

Cooking is what brought him joy 

Where he would serve the hoi polloi


His parents told him it was a silly dream

But he bought a property by the Old Mill Stream

Planned to hire the best restaurant team

And have a nautical theme


“I don’t like the look of these pipes”

Said Building Inspector Snipe

“The sewer system calls for a whole different type”

But Paul thought Snipe just wanted to gripe


No pipes were installed for opening night

Paul prayed everything would go right

The people streaming in were quite a sight

All looking for a perfect bite


He had planned for the right amount of mushrooms

And the freshest legumes

But one thing foretold his doom

He had not counted on the number of people using the bathroom


Halfway through dinner the pipes burst

And a lovely evening turned out for the worst

And as the water cascaded down a wall all Paul could do was stand cand curse

Costly repairs would bust his purse


Paul put his dream of a restaurant aside

Since the walls never dried

And after inspecting the property he did decide

To open an indoor water slide.

    that was a surprise!

    did not ask ... it's odor said pay your bill, no tip, just go!
