Holiday Tip (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m presenting a holiday tip.
No it’s not what you think. Get a grip!
It is Waitstaff Day. See?
And I’m sure you’ll agree
That those folks deserve more than this quip.
(National Waitstaff Day — May 21)
Creature of Habit (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
“Shall I tell you our specials today?”
Asks the waiter, who knows what I’ll say:
“My regular, please.
Just a burger — no cheese.”
My order’s become a cliché.
(This was inspired by Weekend Wordsmith’s “what’s on the menu” prompt.)
Update: Happy National Waiters and Waitresses Day! (May 21)
