A Sushi Dinner
by Daniel R Stout

I hope you are done soon
eating your sushi dinner
It’s coming to the end of June
and you will be much thinner.

A healthy diet of rice and fish
is good for the soul and palette
So go now and order a dish
and get yourself a side salad.

But in Iowa aren’t you worried
that the fish will no longer be fresh?
The shippers have tried and hurried
but the catch has turned to rotting flesh.

It continues to get later
your food has not yet arrived
Does the restaurant there cater
to the dead and uncircumcised?

And soon we will not talk
for to bed I must go
I’ve watched the phone like a hawk
but for now I will forgo.
