The Oak Pit

It’s my kind of place,
Rustic in nature
With peanuts on the table
And peanut shells
On the floor,
The kind of place
Where I could bring my kids
And be a kid myself,
Where we could do battle
Throwing peanut shells
At each other.
The western antiquities
And the wooden picnic tables
Lend a certain hillbilly charm
To the meaty western fare.
The menu includes
Beef, pork, ham,
Chicken or sausage,
Sandwiches or dinner
Enriched with tangy
Bar-B-Que sauces.
The Oak Pit is located
In Oakview, California.
It’s a feeding trough
For locals, bikers,
And other passers through,
As well as for the occasional
Wandering writer like me.
