Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Service

When a waiter or a waitress
Seems to go the extra mile,
With a dollop of attention
Or the sprinkle of a smile

Then the meal is so much better
‘Cause the mood is so relaxed;
Conversation keeps on flowing,
No one’s patience getting taxed.

Service such as I’m describing
Sure deserves a big reward,
So when tipping time approaches,
Give the most you can afford.

Connie Marcum Wong February 7, 2015 at 11:10 PM Your poem reminded me of our breakfast yesterday out with our granddaughter. Our waiter was very nice and went the extra mile and my husband rewarded him with a 30% tip of golden dollars. They work very hard! Great tribute to them Ilene!
