Two pals, Nate and Sal happened to meet
One day walking down the street
Nate said 'Sal, how are you?
Are you hungry? Me too
Let's go get something to eat'
So to the diner they both did go
There's a lot to choose from there, you know
But since they both were having a big dinner that night
They decided to eat light
Nate ordered a salad, Sal, just a baked potato
After he finished eating, Nate was mad
Told the waitress what he had was bad
She said 'Sorry, you're angry
What do you want from me?
Nate, shoulda, oughta..what salad?'
What the waitress said, is there any confusion?
So this poem can reach its conclusion
The last line that the waitress said
Should not be read that way, but instead
Say 'Nate, should've ordered what Sal had'
The solution!
