Dinner For Alfalfa Poem by RIC BASTASA

let me introduce you
to Alfalfa
my girlfriend
she is 69
and still sexy
and rich
and she says
she cannot live without me
and i take her
to dinner
at her expense
of course
because she
has the money
and for dinner
she orders
soup # 5
garlic rice
hot chili sauce
jumbo hotdogs
and
cow's tongues
for stew

(u huh?

you expect some more
i stop here)

we are going
for a date

i am 87
and it is none
of your business)

just the viagra
without the
condoms

and yes Alfalfa
my dear
for breakfast
tomorrow)
