Bottomless Chips the menu said
A concept seemingly so absurd
What the hell are bottomless chips
I murmured quietly to my bird
Never one to reject new things
I ordered with medium steak
Half a tomato, one mushroom
Just for experience' s sake.
Bottomless chips
A concept so new
Defying the laws of physics
If it in fact was true.
We sat there in anticipation
Each sipping our glass of Coke
Wondering if in fact we were
Victims of a culinary joke.
They had a top and bottom as well
In fact as far as I could see
They just looked like any other
Fried chips to the bird and me.
The steak was chewy,
But nice and hot
Half a tomato, one mushroom
Was what we each got.
That's what the menu had said
So it was really no surprise
Nicely presented I suppose
Very easy on the eyes
And apparently bottomless chips means
You can have extra portions for free
But as i only learned from Wikipeda
That information came far to too late for me.
Now I can order with confidence
Next time knowing what I will get
Thanks to the horde of knowledge
Freely offered on the Internet.
And maybe I'll push my luck
Risking inches piled on the hips
And air my new found confidence
By ordering free top up of chips.
