More nods to Seuss

Greetings again...a rough day to get much new writing done and I'm a bit tapped out from writing something to some friends who are dealing with a very sad loss this week. I got asked about this little
piece too, and yes, there are lots more things like this - when I get a bit more time I will see what's worth posting.

Thanks to Steve and John for asking about this and saying I should post it for those who can relate - that makes a tough day on an even tougher week feel a bit better. Hope more people get a chuckle from this!

The Waiters Who Wait

If you are the waiter, what, pray tell am I

Oh the things you don’t notice, every time you pass by

Our glasses are empty, from bottom to top

Yet nothing so obvious will make you stop

I know your job isn’t easy – for once it was mine

Worked too late to cook, so we came here to dine

To sit and be waited on, I thought we’d be able

If that’s going to work, then please come to our table

I don’t want to piss and I don’t want to moan

But please – you’re at work, so put down your phone

If you’d just turn around, it’s easy to see

Another round’s needed, by my date and me

We just want to relax, not clean and not cook

But you just don’t notice, every time that you look

Appetizers are gone, and I want more food

Good heavens you’re really an ignorant dude

I really don’t know why you’re working like this

I can’t understand all the things that you miss

And me on a night off, I don’t want to think

About where the hell is my food or my drink

So if you are the waiter, then how can it be

That the one who is waiting just seems to be ME?!
