A Mans Meal

A man walks in from the cold 
Smelling of booze and looking like hell. 

He is a regular so they say. 
He has a seat with his name. 

 Three times a day he comes in 
seems like a real nice man. 

Never did ask what brought him here. 
or even if he has kids to care. 

Still I serve him the same every day. 
As he eats and goes on his way.
