Dinner Date Conundrum
Nope! Don’t Think So!

Pumpernickel bread …
What the hell is pumpernickel?
Sounds like a cheap whore
Think I’ll pass mate
Not quite ready to meet my fate
Rather experience a tad bit more
Took a sniff
Smelled a tad strange
Maybe I should explore possibilities
Expand my personal range
Nah, I’ll stick with basic white
Doesn’t make my stomach want to fight
What’s that? .. Escargot?
Snails.. ?
Oh hells
Slimy little buggers
Belong in the garden
That’s a taste I won’t be regardin’
Chocolate covered ants?
Why?
To put down the back of my pants?
I can have sweet skid marks and ..
Ants in my pants
I’m not some shaman
Roasting crickets on a stick
Rather have a popsicle to take my licks
What the hell ever happened to a nice rare steak
A potato with cheese and bacon I can nicely bake
You say I should expand my palate
I don’t need artichoke in my salad
Sounds like if I eat them I artichoke
And gag
And grab for a rag
I’d rather deal with my stomach pooch
Than ask someone who eats snails
For a nice little smooch
So pardon me while while I order up a burger
With fries on the side for a perfect merger
Next date .. I pick the restaurant …

Bon Appetit! this was good!
This was a riot! Not all heroes wear capes, some just boldly say no to pumpernickel and live to chew another burger.
lol, chocolate-covered ants are good. I've had them once. Of course, it's not something I'd buy....
