A Little Sin Now and Then

As I parked I opened the door 
Smoke bellowed out and began to pour 
I headed in, premeditating sin 
I was about to commit, once again. 
They seated me quick and they did so proper, 
Seasonal beers, seasoned steaks- todays offer. 
She was right right there to get me started
Perhaps on an appetizer or something with garlic… 
The crowds surrounding me were young and fun 
It made me sad that I was sitting alone acting dumb 
The lights stayed dim and the people stayed classy
A place to be for the rich and fancy.
They were up to big things but for now it was time to drink. 
Time to drink but for me time to think. 
My server headed over and he knew my order
Even though he got it wrong I got what I came for. 
A steak and a beer to keep good feelings near. 
A soulful food experience was my intention, 
Anything less is not worth my invention, 
And I stay inventive, without much incentive. 
Collaborative thought like the collective, 
I'm the ambassador that is respected. 
He rang me up and walked it out 
The good smells made me want to scream and shout. 
I began to salivate looking animalistic
I should have asked for him to salt and pepper this bitch. 
I prepared my meat and checked the pink
It was cooked to perfection and ready to eat. 
A side of fries and plenty potatoes passed
I took care of them and saved the best for last. 
Four beers lay on a platter
Could I get drunk any faster? 
So I drank and I ate and I smiled and I thought
"Now would be a good time to dash to the lot."
And off I went, 
Without paying a cent. 
I hope that waiter, 

Can still make his rent.
