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.
With Fun Flowers Creepy Crawlers & Spirograph for all!

What a great poem, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteYet my plate o' fish, was quite delish ..
ReplyDeletethe "brown" gravy on my fries,
that was a surprise!
From where that came, best one never know,
did not ask ... it's odor said pay your bill, no tip, just go!
The indoor water slide is a much better idea!
