I should have been thinking
And called her to get an inkling.

Then She would have been able to declare
What food I should not prepare.

Now all I can do is rhyme
About my waste of time.

“The tomato soup I would have liked
If it was not so spiked.”

“Eating crab salad I know for many is a thrill,
But I can’t because it makes me deadly ill.”

“From the cucumbers I have to abstain
Because they come up again.”

“The tomato’s are out of the question
as they cause me indigestion”

“the almond slivers are not for me
As I have an allergy.”

“The blueberries tiny seed
Make my intestines bleed.”

“The cookies with nuts
Cannot pass thru my guts.”

“But without complications, I can load my fork
With your delicious potatoes, beans and pork.”

“Also another breadstick
will not make me sick.”

This evening made me rethink my entertaining
And to prevent complaining,

For this guest my next treat
Will be served in a restaurant seat.
