I can't eat that!

I can’t eat that!
Three choices of mains
All heavy, somewhat difficult to swallow
Meaty, sloppy, a bit scant
Three or four side dishes
Spicy, green, something whacky too
You can only choose one
Be aware when it arrives
Some components from your chosen dish
May be missing from your plate
That’s the way it is…. Tough!
It was forever thus
Hand those nuts around liberally
To the many not the few
It’s time to free your privates
After all these years
You’ll feel exposed, a chill
This winter, well most of you will
As you gnaw on
A hard boiled brexit
Undercooked, on the bone
No warm gravy to bring the dish together
Don’t choke on it
Heimlich left in a huff with his manoeuvre
It’s meat and two veg
Sorry we don’t do Escargot anymore
Besides we’re overbooked now
If you want the European menu
You’ll have to cancel and rebook
At our other restaurant; The Sturdy Schnitzel
It’s threatened with closure, be quick
But it’s utterly equally good
With hyperfast broadband from heaven
Kids eat for free
It’s weetabix or nothing
I prefer an all you can eat buffet
Choice picks for sensible eaters
I think I’ve lost my appetite
What’s the point?
The tips never reach the workers anyway

What a terrific piece!

Very apt. Limited range of menu X options and we feel sick for another five years.
