Ronald D Thompson Poet Rhyme

Why Does the Waiter Look Away

Why does the waiter look away?
Every time I want to pay.
I never like to make a fuss,
Or ever, ever swear or cuss.

Up goes my hand to beckon her,
or maybe him, if you prefer,
but I might as well scream and shout 
as the waiter always moves about.

I look a fool as I pen the air,
in an attempt to draw a stare.
So, tell me what I have to do?
A simple question I put to you?

The waiter will expect a tip,
But I might as well give the slip,
If I’m completely overlooked,
In this restaurant I should not have booked!

(Btw, I hate it when this happens)! :) gw Ronald D Thompson August 25, 2019 at 4:45 PM Me too. It's a pet hate. Sometimes I swear the waiter avoids you on purpose. Thankfully there are also some great restaurants where this isn't the case. Hope all is well my friend. RT
