Epicure and Couture?
Not Sure.
Let’s don our duds and do the town.
We’ll hit the house and bring it down.
The price-less menu hints at class,
The waiter too, so be not crass.
Glance left and right; size up the joint.
Look at the crowd, but please don’t point.
Your collar’s crisp; your pleats are pressed.
And yet I find I’m blushing, stressed.
No algorithm makes it so,
No matter where you choose to go.
This much is true, the very least:
One can dress up and still be beast.
