Who Knew Poetry

I'm Amanda. I'm a "struggling actor" based in New York. I like to pretend I am a secret poet. Maybe I am, maybe not. Either way, it's fun.

Ode to the Restaurant Goer:

I don’t want to serve you

I do not deserve you

You send back your fish

And complain of the salt

Your ass is humungous

Your feet grow a fungus

Send back chicken parm

Undercooked? It’s my fault.

A sucker for gluttoun

Your pants popped a button

You drop seafood shells

All over my floor

You chew like a heffer

Your husband’s no better

A proud restuarant patron

Your wine I will pour

It’s here comes the bill time

“You’re so overpriced” time

And fifteen percent

Is all you can spend

You roll out the door

Ten more pounds than before

As ten more walk in

And I say “Welcome, friends!”

Love,

Your Waitress
