Et Tu?

I was forwarded a photo

Of a steak knife, firmly stuck

Into salad dressing in a

Plastic bottle; what the f***?

 

Dressing oozed where it was punctured

And I wondered what it meant,

Then I noticed it was Caesar

And the joke was evident.

 

For today’s the Ides of March, the date

When Caesar was betrayed,

Stabbed to death by some conspirators

As history was made.

 

To whoever took that picture,

I applaud your clever take

Since you sacrificed your salad

All for art and humor’s sake.
