Bye, Bye Birdie


It was the waiters fault!
I never take milk, he must know that,
Yet there was the milk next to my coffee.
Next came the check, placed alongside the milk.

Anyone could have done what I did.
True, the cup with the check was silver
While the creamer was white,
With a finger handle and curved sides.

Had the table been somewhat larger
There would certainly have been more space
Between the creamer
And the shot-glass shaped check holder.

OK, someone else might have noticed
That only one container held milk.
Yes, that certainly would have been a clue
That I should not place the signed bill in milk holder!
