Another uncollected Pith & Vinegar poem for today, which originally appeared in The Banana King:Red Lobster Blues
Because they loved the crabs too much
the customers at Red Lobster
management was taken in the back
and beaten with jumbo shrimps
◊ ◊ ◊
Questioned about such plentiful
platefuls of servings, black eyes
blinked and trembling Adam’s apples fell
and “they were hungry” was their confession
