If these restaraunt walls could talk of who in through their doors did walk you'd be left with mouth agape scratching your head like a hairy ape Not to be bold, for I may be amiss but if these walls could speak, they'd say something like this... Aretha Franklin ate here once, that diva sure had sole and not the kind that sings the blues; t'was the fish served in a bowl Bruce Springsteen ate here many times, so I don't think it a fluke that the boss can't hold his liquor down, just 3 drinks and he'd puke... Frank Sinatra, Bono too, had martinis in that booth. They disagreed about soup-de-jour, and both men lost a tooth I recall a visit from Sly Stallone, I learned to my dismay The guys as bald as a baby's bum - he wears a black toupee! Maddona created quite a stir the first time she was here As she used her pointy bustier to open up her beer! Dimaggio and Ruth were known to have a lot of class but I don't know which one was biggest, Joe's nose or Babe's big @$$ Yes only if the walls could talk... what stories they have seen Of drinkies drank and drunkards dropped on 54th and Queen ------------------ Poetic Wheelbarrow http://www.stormloader.com/poetwheel/den.html |

Since I don't get out much, do you have the name of the place? Or is it just a figment of my imagination? Good job..enjoyed the jabs. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I ate once at the Sunshine Inn. It really was a treat But, since it was in KANSAS, They just served corn and wheat! |
