REF: Rosies Good Eats Cafe

[Marcia Dressel <dressel@OZ.OSCEOLA.K12.WI.US>]

Forgive my *personal* request for poem reference.

I heard a poem in HS forensics that, I think, was titled "Rosie's Good Eats
Cafe."  The stanzas seemed to be giving little profiles of the personalities
who frequented the cafe at different times of the day.  I tried to follow
the form to write a similar poem for my father, a business owner -- but am
not happy with my attempts and would like further inspiration by seeing the
original in print.  I have never been able to find it, although years ago I
asked the "performer" and he said it was by Silverstein (as in Shel)  I
think he was pulling my 16-year-old leg.  It doesn't seem like a S.S. poem.
Anyway, can anyone help me?
