TRESTLEWIDE

There’s increasing excuses

to walk by Trestle Inn

& you have to stop in

For a Trestlewide.

It’s the law!

I’ve been challenged

on that assertion

but I’m pretty sure it is a law.

Besides why risk it?

One time, I even went

for two Trestlewides

in a single sitting.

It seemed like the right thing to do.

After all, if you had a hungry family 

at home

& you stole a loaf of bread 

to feed them-- 

Would that be so wrong?

And what if—instead of a loaf of bread

you went to Trestle Inn

and had two Trestlewides

in a single sitting?

Would that be a crime?

I think not!

Two Trestlewides in a single sitting—

I know I’ve grown in statute

in several people’s eyes.

Sadly, it’s not likely

these are the ones I most need to impress.
