A Guide to Good Service in a Snotty Restaurant
If you thought I was obsequious, have another think.
I was merely being cordial to get another drink.
The wait staff there was surly so I thought I would be nice,
although it seemed that in this joint, being cuddly was a vice.
There was some ambiguity in regards to being served.
It seems as though they gave the service they thought we deserved.
We couldn’t get attention with our arm-waving and hooting,
but luckily, before we came, we’d done some target shooting.
I put a bullet in the chamber and aimed it at the ceiling,
and when our waiter heard the blast, he changed his way of dealing
with the placid customer at table number five.
It seems the way to win respect was leaving him alive.
He brought my gin and tonic with nary a snide quip.
He brought my crudités and even brought an extra dip.
And he didn’t raise an eyebrow or even curl his lip
when I left the restaurant without leaving a tip!!
Prompts for today are: chamber, blast, cuddly, obsequious and ambiguity. Image by Lefteris Kallergis on Unsplash.

Nothing like putting down a snotty waiter, although I don’t recommend this method. Pure hyperbole!!

Well, hopefully you’ll recognize it as hyperbole and not follow the pattern!!!

I love your sense of humor, Judy, and your way with words (including your “animules” in a comment on my site–I’ve used that word myself!).

They are much more determined than I am… all of them, thus the name.
