Notes About The Poem

Beautiful Waitress

No bad moods allowed, she puts on a smile, 
They pay her to treat them like kings,
They pay her to talk and articulate clear, 
When they’re ordering all of their things,

And she learns how to stay calm when chaos takes hold, 
She doesn’t let them see that she sweats,
She’s interested in what the customer wants, 
When they can’t even utter baguettes.

She’s always friendly and nice to the folks, 
She doesn’t know what they’re going through,
And they might really need a smile from her, 
And they might also need a tissue,

She respects her co-workers, and treasures good people, 
She’s humble during the day,
And she knows hard work often goes unnoticed, 
When serving at the local café.

Line Gauthier February 12, 2018 at 10:44 PM What a thoughtful tribute, Lewis. I particularly liked the part about her not knowing that customers might really need a smile or tissue. Loved it all.
