Chez Vous

A Poem by Pete
"

Staying in the house breeds a sort of insanity always. Every house is, in this sense, a hospital. - Thoreau

Chez Vous Bistro �

i want to spoon-feed you lunacy
with a side of idiocy
at an all you can eat buffet of absurdity
a smorgasbord of insanity
ending with a crazed cherry atop a deranged dessert of delirium
half-baked, of course

you'll have to use the stairs because the elevator doesn't go all the way to the top
the patrons are all unhinged
the steaks always well singed
isn't it great
ties are optional but jackets must be straight
everyone's always late
even though reservations are for half-passed-out eight

i always said that you look great in lies
don't worry, we've got plenty of demented blazers just your size
guaranteed to fit you
where the guests don't fart, they pass gas or go poo poo
here at this bonkers bistro where no one has a clue
you know, the one called

chez vous

"There is considerable danger that a man will be crazy between dinner and supper; but it will not directly answer any good purpose that I know of, and it is just as easy to be sane." - Thoreau

I heard the appetizers were incredible...but a little high priced...we have to exchange our sense
to delightfully sate our crazy self. Such a neat play on words here, Pete,
