Lunch Craze at Fave Diner

The peas were on the burnt side and

Gran Moravia Cheese could not resuscitate

The Focaccia looked delicious but too hard to masticate

So I dumped them in the onion soup—flawless—and with gusto
licked the bowl

Thumbs-upped the harried waitress,

“Give my regards to the chef,” said I and left.
