It Lived Up To Its Name
It Lived Up To Its Name
by Helen George
The Embers was a restaurant of some renown,
Attended by large crowds from all around,
The chef was the best, he boasted great fame,
But everyone agreed he lived up to this claim.
The food was scrumptious, and served just right,
The desserts mouth-watering, tempting delights,
Yes, the menu offered many tasty sensations,
And everyone agreed it lived up to expectations.
One dark night, The Embers burned to the ground,
And only scattered ashes were left to be found,
The Embers was gone, 'twas no one to blame,
But everyone agreed it lived up to its name.

Isn't That Always The Way It Goes
Helen,
It never fails does it. Find a good eating establishement and it either burns to the ground or the chef gets a better offer. Well, at least it lived up to its reputation.
Write on,
Pete
Thank You
Thanks, Pete, for your comment. This poem was based on truth. There really was a restaurant called The Embers in my home town and it did burn. Arson was suspected, but never proved.

I Never Doubted It
Helen,
The worst thing is that good restaurants are just so hard to find these days.
