Poetry from the book {The Lion and the Sun} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

My parents made the mistake of taking us to a fancy restaurant

We ran around the dining room hiding under the tables slapping ladies on their legs and looking up their dresses

At the restaurant I happen to notice a piece of greenery laying next to my food

What the hell is this thing????

It's the sign of a fine restaurant garnish

The next day for supper my Mother served us hamburgers

I said," where's my greenery woman"

My Mom walks outside, comes back and lifts up the hamburger bun and throws a pile of grass on top of the burger

She says," eat up you little shit"

I say," well I'll be taking my business elsewhere with this kind of service."
