    Strange Restaurant

    By Shel Silverstein

    I said, "I'll take the T-bone steak."
    A soft voice mooed, "Oh wow."
    And I looked up and realized
    The waitress was a cow. 
    I cried, "Mistake--forget the the steak.
    I'll take the chicken then."
    I heard a cluck--'twas just my luck
    The busboy was a hen.
    I said, "Okay no, fowl today.
    I'll have the seafood dish."
    Then I saw through the kitchen door
    The cook--he was a fish.
    I screamed, "Is there anyone workin' here
    Who's an onion or a beet?
    No? Your're sure? Okay then friends,
    A salad's what I'll eat."
    They looked at me. "Oh,no," they said,
    "The owner is a cabbage head."
