That Bits and Pieces type love

You want me in sections, I don't like that. You gaze over my body like it's a buffet. You are not amazed by all the options and you aren't willing to try out new things, instead you arrive at the table having already chosen what you want. You want bits of me. You want to saw off pieces of my flesh. You only want what suits you. In fact, you only want what Society tells you is appropriate to take from me.

You want to cut open my personality and select what suits your palate. You don't like the fire in me...you have never had a thing for hot things. And so you kill the fire by watering it with ideas of how "i'm being emotional" or a "woman". Apparently, you missed my vagina or breasts while scouring over this here body and saw only sexual gratification and not the fact that I am indeed, a woman. My feminine ideals dont suit your palate. Femininity in its entirety gives you a premature vasectomy. I am sure you have noticed how your fellow customers refuse to indulge your opinion about how everything female is awful and bland? You don't like how I am not intimidated by your seemingly superior and macho characteristics. Bitter taste, aint it? You don't appreciate how I recognise my worth; it rubs your testosterone straight into "oestrogen filled, emotionville" doesn't it?

You don't get that I am an acquired taste and that those who understand and love my taste, celebrate me every chance they get. You are missing out on some 70% cocoa dark chocolate here, sugar. You are missing out on some age-old whisky here, honey. You are missing out on some grilled and gorgeous Queen Prawns here, boo boo.

You just want to love bits and pieces of me, and call it Fine Dining. That time, we are both aware that you don't even fully appreciate what you do select from the buffet table. You peck and frown at every little piece, hoping your judgement will motivate the food to meet your ideals. Would you like a glass of water to help you swallow that large Truth, sir? When you realise that the goods offered here do not need your validation would you like something stronger? Something strong on the rocks might just put your world back into its axis.

Next time you are hungry, don't delude yourself dear picky customer. This is not the buffet type restaurant (but we do offer that on sunday mornings for loyal customers). This is a restaurant built on good service and great wine and even better food. The menu is decided by the owner. Take it or leave it, dear. Changes are made when and how the owner pleases.

You see the people behind you, sir? Yes...them? They are waiting to come in. I would advise you to appreciate the restaurant for what it offers or you can make space for those who do.

This here personality is staying.

This here body is staying.

Both of them can and will be highly appreciated. We don't need your money here. The people who have acquired the taste of this place tip heavily :).

We don't need your I'll-take-this- large-meal-in-a-small type love. We don't need your Can-I-have-this-vanilla-ice-cream-without-the-chocolate-sauce type love. We don't need your Bits and Pieces type love.
