:dubious: :eek: 😃🆒

**Autolycus** slices his fish  
And serves up the sushi while wish-

Like an inflated toad  
And spatter the rice-cooking dish

OK, while I thought the rant was decent (and I can relate since I work in a restaurant too - **Auto** , we seem to have a lot in common…)

That line _really_ made me smile.
