Waiter

eye at the center
friend to chaos
cycles spinning
round space time
roadhouse corner
eatery and saloon
two eggs easy over
toast and coffee please

Hello Sand Blown, I would order bacon and eggs with potatoes and toast. This is what I would order for breakfast. Have a nice evening my friend.

That's the way it is when you're waiting tables; chaotic at times but, some folks like the job. Beautifully penned.

waiters and teachers deserve good pay...try selling ideas to the average student when they're not interested, or they've got their electronic distractions...that's one nice thing about university...separates the serious from the knots

its my favorite road house snack when i drive...it's a reminder of breakfast : ) and an energizer...i'm glad you liked it dear heart...the rhyme started out as something about life changing and waiters often have the eyes : )

I enjoyed your take on waiter, Stan! I was a waitress once upon a time and actually enjoyed that job. I love it busy. You get lots of tips and the time flies!

Viewpoint of a waiter, sees all, solves all, (the good ones do, anyway) intriguing!

"friend to chaos" - yes, a waiter must have eight pairs of eyes and be on "revolve" at all times. Great job! I suspect you have done this once or twice.
