you want to go
out to eat with us?
i would love to,
where are we going?
all you can eat
pit-barbecue buffet
but i’m vegetarian,
surely you know...
they have coleslaw,
french fries...
cooked with
the chicken strips...
corn on the cob,
if you want those?
that’s all?—
those are my choices?
well—you know—
you don’t have to go.

I remember we invited Popeye out, but nothing on the menu except spinach. Glug! lol.
One can easily tell if one comes for the food or the company. I was always advised that when going out to eat, eat something first so one does not appear a hog and glutton. Nicely done Tristan
