went out on taco tuesday 

for a

family fiesta

all tacos were just one dollar

and

when we got the menu

we saw

the new ‘surprise filling’ option

kind of scary and intriguing at the same time

we asked our server as instructed

“what’s it going to be today?”

but

alas

it wasn’t available

they ran out of it

must have been very popular

but

couldn’t they have

just combined things

and

made one up?

how would we know the difference?

raisins, mashed potatoes, and green jello?

or

watermelon rinds, blue cheese, and kit-kat bars?

or

whatever they found in the kitchen?

if there were mexican fortune cookies

i expect that mine would have read:
