Poet's Notes
(Hide)
Inspired by Jerry T. Curtis "I Need a Cup of Seuss" Poetry Contest: 1 original, poem on the theme of "You are sitting in 'The Cat In The Hat' restaurant, I am your waiter-----what would you like to order----
".
Please, Pull Up a Chair
I’d like you to bring me a dinner for two -
A serving for me and a serving for you.
I’ll order up something that we two can share.
Please bring it, then sit with me! Pull up a chair!
We’ll start with a salad. I hope you won’t mind
this salad will be of the specialty kind,
the kind made of rainchokes and fiddlehead roots,
and topped with wassava and sharkflower shoots.
And after our salad, we’ll have the main dish:
some Teek Bourguignon, or lardines if you wish
See, it just doesn’t matter what food that we eat,
as long as you join me! Please, pull up a seat!
Then after our meal, some dessert will be nice;
I’ll order us up some sweet cragberry ice!
We’ll top it all off with some coffee flown in
especially from the small island of Dwin.
I’ll thank you, dear waiter, for serving my needs;
I’ll tip you with plenty of Dol-yapper seeds
For, you see, I don’t eat alone, not anywhere!
So bring it, then sit with me! Pull up a chair!
