“Where shall I take her?”
He asked his best friend
“Take her some place different
You don’t want to follow the trend”
“There is a new one
Called the Dead Poet’s Restaurant
It’s a great jazzy place
Went there with my aunt”
On Valentine’s Day
With his loved one
A candle light dinner
Could there be anymore fun?
“Would you like to order?”
The waiter asked them
“What’s your special?”
“Try our Epic, sir”, ahem
He took a peek at the menu
And ordered the food graciously
“A Sonnet for the lady
And a Limerick for me”
“A bottle of your best wine” He said
“We have the 1992 Shakespeare
And the 81’ William Wordsworth”
“Bring in the Wordsworth here”
The red wine arrived
And so did the food
After eating the decent meal
Before them the waiter stood
“Anything for the desert sir?”
“Suggest us something” He said
“We have the Japanese Haiku
And the Epitaph of Fitzgerald, Edward”
“No Epitaphs no Epitaphs
Bring us the Haiku” He said
“This place is already too weird
We don’t need anything of the dead”
“How was the food?
How was the wine?”
“Everything was perfect
It was a wonderful dine”
With an enormous tip
They paid the bill
Next thing they knew
They were flying down hill
Happy as they can be ever
With all the time to waste
Holding hands they walked
Still savoring the taste
Such a wonderful Restaurant
With a weird poetic menu
Where can you find this place?
That is what I’m going to tell you
Where poems are cooked
Where rhymes are borrowed
Where ballads are all what they drink
And where the couplets are swallowed
In the whole wide world
There is only one such place
Dead Poet’s Society is the one
Spreading smiles on the Earth’s face

I like this and it rings the bell of several favorite elements felt and worked. You stayed true to this piece through 15 quatrains of well rhymed metric. A fine homage and treatment to a brilliant film and its lasting effects, implications and imaginative continuance.
Well Done
Peace
