How Not To Tip

How Not to Tip

A waitress at the Twisted Fish
Got a tip she did not wish
A tip like she had never seen
A plastic bag of methamphetamine
She call the cops who soon arrested
These “tippers” who were then drug tested
And found to be a wee bit high
Led off to jail bye and bye
Cops took the bag, the waitress’s miffed
She can’t believe that she got stiffed

ha! i'm assuming this is something you've culled from the news (how stupid can people be?) but i love the way you've presented it, especially the ending!

You are correct in your assumption - I learn an awful lot from the internet. Mike
