Free Coffee At the Greasy Spoon

5 dimes rest on the cafe counter top Left behind by a visitor who dined Waitresses must honor pancake wishes As they disappear into the kitchen Swinging doors slam hard behind The Greasy Spoon makes dishes fly Coins are unattended at this moment Priscilla is the locale hobo burglar girl In need of soap & water and free coffee At this time she requires dimes 5 would suffice to buy some time She hides beneath a filthy scarf Commits the deed with slippery fingers A well practiced cough as a distraction Absconds with fifty cents and then gets caught Officer Flynn is the long arm of the law Sees everything hidden in the dark Priscilla learns a valuable lesson about free coffee It taste much better after being arrested Compliments of tax payers and the prison system I would go as far as to say delicious!
