Splitting the Bill

When friends share a restaurant meal
Who eats what is not a big deal
For the bill will be split
Though I have to admit
That some awkwardness this could reveal.

A group member might simply declare
He or she finds his portion unfair
‘Cause she ate so much less
That it gives her distress
To contribute a similar share.

It’s a problem one rarely expects
When the dining group often connects
Since there isn’t a doubt
Time will even things out
Or perhaps what they need’s separate checks!
