You put up a mouth-watering signage,

With delectable looking dishes on display,

Advertising the best Seafood,

In the entire seven continents,

You cared not to up another one,

To warn us about your sloppy service,

Or to inform us,

That we would have to sit for ages, 😦

Nibbling on our nails as appetizers,

Whilst waiting for your ever elusive menu,

And after waiting for ages,

A mere sliver of questionable sea fare,

Of dodgy this and that,

Barely sufficient,

And hardly palatable.

But haste you made,

No waste in collecting your wage.

Just so you know,

In the time I sat on your mat,

Like a fat cat,

I could have caught a Fat Trout,

At a cheaper route.
