Sally's Nickel Raise
Sally!
You should have raised the price
back a year ago.
Back when I had told you.
When you were saying no.
Coffee for a nickel more
would surely buy you more.
...but you weren't listening to me
and I was just a bore.
Now you say that I was right
and I am feeling blessed.
If not for knowing that you lie
and you have only jest.
So take my money in a tip
and hope it surely helps.
And know that I won't make you rich
despite my many yelps.
