At Dandee Donuts Cafe

Dandee Donuts was Dan's small café.
I served donuts and meals for small pay,
wore a stupid hair net
and what small tips I'd get
growing fat on free donuts each day!

This one made me smile and rmember when I worked at Robin's Doughnuts. All the coffee and tea you could drink and free doughnuts. Had two girls who drank so much coffee they were wired for sound. They really were. It was funny. Loved this. Good luck on the contest. God Bless, JB
