The Pigeon Who Flew the Coop Accident-Prone

Accident-prone Waitress work is interesting and busy It’s not fancy and puts you in a tizzy On my feet all day long working Carrying trays to customers that can be entertaining No time for errors on full course dinners We want the meals to be winners People come and go Some I know, some to the door I would like to show Some have humors Some are charmers Some enjoying their food and think the service is just perfecto Some are disgusted with both; I want to give them the heave-ho I want to throw away my apron, I’m going wacko Carrying a full tray I trip on a loose carpet Food all over them and me on my butt I set Fortunately, they were understanding didn’t make a racket Felt like an idiot, I wanted to exit Try not making it a habit Pouring coffee, someone distracts, oh a bad mishap Turn and pour it on the customer’s lap A five dollar tip was left on my cap That l’d left behind because of my mishap I melted and hid, I actually felt like I was in a trap Now I have to face the boss’s wrath Can I survive the aftermath? ©4/27/2015 Contest: The Pigeon Who Flew the Coop Sponsor: Tammy Reams
