The Barmaid's Tale

You say you’re waitin’ on that beer
                       Well, they got one girl workin’ here 
So go have a chip and some dip
                                 Just relax, she’ll be bringing

You say your gin and tonic’s late
                     It seems that you’ll just have to wait

She’s been running around like a clown
                               Just sit back, keep on singing
  
And if you don’t want her to quit
                       Now stop your chomping at the bit

You see, the situation’s clear
                       They just got one girl workin’ here

Are you writing poetry in Texas? Just a vibe. Lived there once, married to a drummer, lots of little bars, lots of people waiting on drinks. This was very cute, entertaining and something every impatient alcoholic (or drink-desirer) should memorize to help them coooool their jets.
