As a Nights Around a Table, you’re part of an elite society. It’s not exactly a secret society… i find it difficult enough to grow the campaign already. But that doesn’t preclude any of you from holding membership in certain other secret societies. Today’s poem is for Mason Coltrin, who joins us at the $3 Meeple level.

I’ll Have the Illuminati Special

“I am a Mason,” he said with a wink

And the waitress brought him another free drink.

He studied the menu, then paused for some thought

Said “I’ll have the secretest thing that you’ve got.”

Trying to sidestep anything sinister

She brought him the same thing they’d served the Prime Minister:

Near-extinct bird eggs with taboo side salad

He turned up his nose and the waitress grew pallid.

“Do you have any idea who I am?

This dish is a farce! This meal is a sham!”

He rolled up his sleeve and revealed his tattoo

An evil eye, seeming to say “I’ll get you.”

The owner came hoping to settle the feud

Paid for his parking, and comped all his food

He tapped on his nametag to let on he knew

And said with a wink “I’m a Mason, like you.”
