The salad is waiting
With steaks marinating
Soon, I'll be plating
But, there's no honoree
Asparagus is steaming
Hollandaise sauce creaming
And tableware gleaming
Still, you're absentee
The meal has been primed
All is perfectly timed
Yet, the hour has chimed
What the hell, more for me
hell, I will have dinner with
hell, I will have dinner with you,

Brilliant use of rhyme in,
Brilliant use of rhyme in, and interlocking, your stanzas, with an ironic conclusion: a great reading experience.
