Ode to the Waffle House


Waffle House. Yellow sign, food divine.

The pecan filled goodness you supply

carries the hoards through their day

which could start at 8, or 1:30, you don't

judge

Seat yourself. No pretensions

forget your cloth napkins or paper menus

plastic menus

plastic cheese

oily goodness

I like the bar. I sit afront the steamy dishwasher

"scattered, chunked" only slower, sweeter

by a happy girl

Made to order over the counter.

Joe told me about his 9 year old (of 5)

looked smaller than Isaac

could have adhd

as he filled my Coke and

told Isaac he had to take care of

our bill

I once saw a cockroach at a Raleigh location

I forgive you it's been a few years.

Chuck had a fly in his sweet tea

gave it to him free.

Waffle House. My kids read your sign

and cheer

Waffle House a feast under

$30 for a family of 6
