Do not open the adventure book Tuttie was warned
But warnings for this girl are often poked fun at and scorned
She could not wait for the prissy librarians to leave
Knew now what fun shenanigan she had up her sleeve
She checked from the window to make sure they were gone
They are so persnickety, I wonder what planet they live on?
She opened that book almost immediately
A tiger jumped out and bit her hard on the knee
Chased her into another room where she locked it in
She ran back to the book and saw princesses giving a spin
Two knights and a dragon were rising high in the sky
A bear came toward her growling, she thought she might die
Tuttie ran to the kitchen with the beast at her rear
He stopped to devour a statue of a tiny deer
She spent the rest of the night locked up, praying for the prisses.
They came back the next morning, and were angry, there were no kisses.

Five dollars on average pays
for a McDonnalds value meal.
Costs little in comparison to
other fast food chains.
I think about this as the
drawer - clunks
open - close and
blue painted chipped
polished nails scrape
against the plastic.
Giving a nickel a penny.
Even my mind is
corporatized here.
Commercialized brain waves,
I'm trained.
I smile that cute big smile,
waitress and bartenders
have it.
I don't know why without
the chance of tips
I even bother with it,
You're meal ( if large sized)
pays more than my hour.
Tell this to the people in their
new SUV's, Isuzus,
suburban sedans.
Twingy eyed from waiting
during dinner.
Tight lips, pursed prisses,
mini vans with screaming hoards
A multitude of lined
and organized confusion.
The beeping and ringing go
off again, damn
the collaborated, machinated,
soda.... Ok, I mean Pop
machine is sticking, cranking,
turning---
EEEEHHH ,EEHHHH , EEHHH
Minimun wage,
It resonants repeatedly
boiling in grease inside
and out.
Beeping and burns
Smiles and Thank yous.
False family financing,
no better than Disney,
damn maybe they are
already Disney.
