It's Quiet, Too Quiet

The local Chipotle: no customers at 7 p.m., Sunday night
Two nights after Christmas
On the Chipotle floor
Not a patron was present
When we walked through the door

Talk of e. coli
Couldn’t scare us away
We love their burritos
With guacamole.

“I’m sorry,” the girl answered
When white rice, please we said
“The rice pot got burnt
How about brown rice, instead?”

Brown rice has more fiber
…and more arsenic than white
We do like being regular
But poison’s a fright.

With no choice we took brown
And paid the charges dear
If you like Chipotle, go soon
They may not be here next year.
