AT THE BUFFET

One, two,

Cheese fondue;

Three, four,

Stir and pour;

Five, six,

Candlesticks;

Seven, eight,

Plate fresh dates;

Nine, ten,

Roasted hen,

Eleven, twelve,

Extras shelved;

Thirteen, fourteen,

Serve terrine;

Fifteen, sixteen,

Plate sardines;

Seventeen, eighteen,

Serve haute cuisine;

Nineteen, twenty,

Don’t be grabby,

Buffet manners are elementary.
