~How to Dine-at a Five-star Restaurant~

Quite your roar
as you approach
remove your caps
feathers-crowns
before you enter
give the welcome mat
your hoofs dirt
bend your hind legs
at the joint
as those who are
civil
be seated
position yourself
at the table
remember
paws in your lap
assume the posture
of a person who is
accustomed to consuming
smile show them
your pearly whites and
the service will be
consistently favorable
you will never be mistaken
nor refused
for what heredity writes
you will be allowed to feel
comfortable in your
money
if not your skin
