 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Today is Veteran's day
The sales promotion reads,
"Veteran's eat Free!"
Wonderful promotion
Take the whole family
But on the door it reads
Must be actively in the Military
Excuse me!
I am a Veteran!
Sorry management decision
And we want to raise them to $15 an hour
Annually the ladies of the family
Have Sister birthday lunches
A couple moves
And a new meeting place
Mind you this is almost a birthday a month
The average meal $15-20
One sister is cheap and only salad
It is tradition
Wife makes her special birthday cake
What's left over they share with Waiters
So this nimwitt says,
"That a store bought cake?"
"No I made it this morning!"
"There well be a $1.75 cent cutting fee per person."
"You're kidding?"
"No its a new management decision."
I guess he had to make decisions
Now that he makes $15.00 an hour
That's all right
The tips is less $1.75 per person
And time to find a new restaurant for birthdays!
