She’ll be mad but the food must be checked and the order she brings won’t reflect on her skill. It’s the cook who will be on the hook for lost tips and he may wind up decked!

Any cook stays inside can't be decked. Should they inside the kitchen connect he would use his great spoon and attacker would swoon from concussion, as one would expect.

If the cook’s not expecting a flood of mad waitresses out for his blood when the food he’s prepared leaves the customers scared that his ladle is dishing up crud!

If the cook's ladle's dishing out crud won't be long ere his name will be mud and his restaurant will fail Reputation will sail to obscurity's hell, as it should

In obscurity’s hell one should wear a name tag so that everyone there will know just who you are but that won’t get you far ‘cause no one in that hell gives a care.

It is clear no one there gives a damn because everyone's failed their exam They've been damned and they know they have nothing to show and they've all heard the prison gate slam.

When the prison door slams in their face, of remorse; there’s not even a trace. With their mouths full of lies it is not a surprise they can’t ask for forgiveness and grace.

Ask forgiveness as you're saying grace when your apple pie has too much mace; let your customers know you're related to Poe so you'll do that again Nevermore!

Nevermore! A lim’rick without rhyme? Even Poe has to know that’s a crime. So with tongue out of cheek, I don’t think ravens speak ‘cause their caws cause confusion sometime.

Please forgive me for my sad mistake. My Lim'rick sticks out like a drake who go lost in a bog He knew he couldn't jog and was too tired to fly to a lake.

When the drakes fly to lakes in the spring they all hope to find hens for a fling so avoid hunter’s guns and decoys; the fake ones or wind up a’ l’Orange or Peking

Peeking duck shot right out of the tree where he perched ever so foolishly I was standing nearby and my hat went awry but I grabbed it before it fell free.

I’m not sure if you speak of your hat or the duck caught before it went splat. Shooting ducks in a tree is an anomaly and you must have a license for that.

Ducks do not need a license to splat on the ground if they're Peking and fat; they like lofting in trees 'cause the height somehow frees them of all regulations. That's that!

That there’s some regulation that frees any duck that is roosting in trees from biology’s facts that all web-footed lacks claws that grip in their anatomies.

anatomical grips are a lack for the tree-lofting birds that go quack but they really don't care as they sit there and stare all around, up and down, front and back!

All around, up and down I did search for a duck that might roost on a perch but alas, none were found; they all sit on the ground. To persist, I’d be left in a lurch.

Ah, my friend, you have searched the wrong tree. Here that duck on a branch you would see. It is right over there where it sits with a stare. Don't stand under, 'cause oft it will pee.

That’s not pee and the duck’s made of glass which I’ve used for a joke. It’s a gas! It’s simply a decoy that I’ve plumbed and employ with a timer to water the grass.

He who waters his grass with a duck won't be one who'll be earning a buck. Who would do such a thing? May as well stand and sing on the corner with "Cluck, Cluck, Cluck, Cluck!"
