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. And speaking of prompts, there’s plenty of time left to give my family-related poetry prompt a try.)
