Krish Radhakrishna Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Hurrying down across  the ro W
Endless orders for young Pippa
Lovely  smile  and  a  bright   Hi
Plates of  orders   steaming  hot,
Less help  today  at hotel 3  star
Evening crowds, work no pause,
Solitary waitress tip toes  across
So be generous to the young lass

Helpless Waitress

Hurrying down across  the ro W
Endless orders for young Pippa
Lovely  smile  and  a  bright   Hi
Plates of  orders   steaming  hot,
Less help  today  at hotel 3  star
Evening crowds, work no pause,
Solitary waitress tip toes  across
So be generous to the young lass
