Cafeteria Opening

Cater to your whims
After a long morning's work.
Find a friend and grab a chair;
Eat healthy or hardy.
Take out when time is short
Else the afternoon drags long.
Round up the lunchtime crowd,
Inspect the new designs,
And win a prize or two.

Overlooking Prospect now,
People watch at will.
Enter through glass and gold--
Nothing's too good for us.
Invite your friends,
New and old, to experience
Grand Opening Day!

I'm looking at this one as a challenge. Someone at work told me I was going to write a poem about our new cafeteria. I said, "I don't think so..."

I love a challenge. I call them Exploding Dog Poems and welcome suggestions.

And to answer your question: I write using many different forms of poetry but the vast majority of my work is rhyming verse and usually lyric styles. It's what I enjoy doing the most and it seems to come easy to me.

PS.
Did I tell you I added you to the aggregator at Poetsarus.com? Well, I have now.

Billy, thank you. If I come up with any new challenges, I will certainly let you know.

This one, oddly, reminds me of me. Too many years waitressing I guess.

Really?

Someone threatened to read this at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don't think so...
