And food was our plan.
We needed great breakfast,
So we went to Jam!
The place is quite small,
A bit hard to find.
For the easiest way,
Just look for the line.
On the sidewalk you'll stand,
To wait for your spot.
There's no reservations,
And it will get quite hot!
They bring you some coffee,
While you stand in line,
The rest will use cell phones,
To help pass the time.
The line moves quite quickly,
In fact it's quite snappy.
In no time at all,
You'll be in and be happy!
You'll scour the menu,
To help make your plan.
Oh wait, what is this?
They've got Green Eggs and Ham!
You have to order it,
You know you must.
You don't know the chef,
But Dr. Seuss you do trust!
The others they choose,
Their options are many.
Your husband selects,
The Pulled Pork Eggs Benny!
The food comes quite quick,
And it all looks fantastic.
Good thing that your pants,
Have a waistband elastic.
Before you dive in,
You look at your daughter.
She ordered whipped cream,
Just like you taught her.
Her sandwich is large,
And filled with Nutella.
She's making a mess,
But you decide not to tell her.
Your breakfast is great,
In fact it's a winner,
But it's just so big,
You won't be hungry for dinner.
At the end of the meal,
When it's all cleared away,
Your husband goes up,
To the Counter to pay.
You look at your youngest,
Who ordered no food.
Said she wasn't hungry,
Was not in the mood.
But now she looks happy,
Much to your surprise,
The waitress brought suckers,
A bunch was her prize.
So when in Victoria,
Make it part of your plan.
542 on Herald Street,
Is the address for Jam!
