The Alternative Tuck Shop, a Sonnet

With the season of graduate school applications upon me, I'm afraid I haven't had much time to dedicate to blogging. Nonetheless, I do not want to leave any of my dedicated followers hanging! So, for your pleasure, I have written a Shakespearean sonnet in honor of one of my favorite eateries: the Alternative Tuck Shop. Enjoy!

When hungry there’s no place I’d rather eat,

No other shop my cash I’d rather give,

Than that which proudly sits on Hol’well Street,

Not any Tuck Shop, it’s Alternative.

Falafel is the sandwich choice du jour,

Perhaps on ciabatta or baguette,

With hummus and tomato (to be sure),

My stomach’s needs will certainly be met!

I'll add a fizzy drink and a dessert,

(The baklava has always been my vice),

And friendly service (yes, they like to flirt).

All that for such a reasonable price!

I thank them, smile, and then I’m on my way,

This meal, undoubtedly, will make my day.
