A Disastrous Dinner
The steak it was too tough.
The mashed potatoes were lumpy.
This disaster was quite enough.
The lettuce was so wilted
That it was crying to be free.
And the tomatoes were so rotten,
That they said, "Just let us be."
The marble cake was day old.
It was hard as a rock.
I just wanted this meal to end
So I turned forward the clock.
"My look at the time," I said.
"It's time that we must leave."
So my wife and I left the house
As I was ready to heeve.
