Samuel Butler's Cafe

It might have been the perfect jaunt
The go to place for books and greens...
Part library, part restaurant,
Whose well read workers did deep cleans
keeping the salad bar first rate
In an auditorium of eats,
And literary debate,
Paired with confectionary treats!
That's how he would have wanted it
For reading all his famous works
Like "Erewhon" or, bit by bit,
His translations of Hellenic jerks
Who hacked each other's Grecian flesh,
As we tasted...The Way of All Fresh!
