Here to Serve

Hey You! You standing there
Wont you sit down in this chair?
Can't you sit down for a while?
I see you want to from that smile
Face flushed and grinning wide
Follow me. Come on inside.

What's that now? Don't turn away!
Won't you hear what I have to say?!
Take off your coat, keep off those feet-
Here, let me help you find a seat?

See now? Isn't this nice?
Perhaps some hot tea will suffice
Stay right there- I'll grab a pot
Be careful though, the kettle's hot

Excuse me? What was that?
To you, I shouldn't turn my back?
My dear sir, I'm so confused
You wonder if the soup is used?
I beg your pardon, I'd never serve--
How dare you Sir! You've got some nerve.

I'll answer your questions; however vague
And I doubt that you'll contract the plague
But once I do, I've had enough
And may ask you to grab your stuff
So Sir. If you must know
Here are your answers before I go

Perhaps you will fall the down the stairs
Maybe you will get caught unawares
There's always a chance you'll lose some cash
Sir please! I cannot ID that rash!
Now that I must avert my eyes
I ask you to replace your guise
Maybe you will inherit diamond rings
But Sir- how am I to know these things?

I'll bring you a menu and a beer
For I am just a waitress here.
