Muffins

Yesterday I went to a café
I wanted to buy a muffin
No raisins and no chocolate
A plain fucking muffin
 
Did they have any? No
They only had sandwiches with pâté
And a soggy little sandwich with fish and remoulade
 
I'm usually in good balance
Never make a big scene
But I didn't think cafés existed
That didn't sell muffins
 
Can you believe this? No
Because you only eat sandwiches with pâté
And can't understand a truly sad human
 
Why? Why are there ovens
And why are there trays
And why are there pans
When no one dares to bake a tiny little cake
That I can eat when I want a snack?
 
I asked the little waitress
a simple question
"If you were here, instead of me
Wouldn't you be disappointed"
 
But she said "No
I would take a sandwich with pâté
Shut up, grab a paper and sit down"
 
I'd gotten a cause to fight
I didn't want to surrender
So I said "My little sandwich-lady
It's so fun to see you"
 
Did I mean it? No
You're a fucking ray of light
Maybe you should go into the oven to become pâté
 
Why? Why are there ovens
And why are there trays
And why are there pans
When no one dares to bake a tiny little cake
That I can eat when I want a snack?
 
(Spoken)
The waitress got angry and called the cops who arrived very quickly.
He grabbed my arm and said "You're coming to the station", but when he saw that he was at a café he said "Wait, I want a muffin first. That would be nice".
And do you think he got a muffin, huh? Yes, he did. And do you think I got pissed?
Yes, I did. I got so fucking pissed.
"Then you do have muffins", I screamed. "Is this a joke, huh?"
There was a moment of silence and suddenly both the officer and the waitress folded over with laughter and every fucker in the café started laughing their asses off.
And the waitress said "Yes, it actually is a joke". And then she explained that they do this to a random guy every once in a while. Just to see what happens, and when I looked around almost the entire café had started eating their muffins which they had somehow hidden when arrived.
This meant that they had pulled one of those practical jokes on me. I was just stunned, it was so embarassing.

Oh oh oh oh...
