She may be a student young
In job that seems so burdensome
That in between the work and lessons
In busy room she’s ever stressin’
Or maybe she’s a long time staff
With easy manner and good laugh
She’s been around, she’s quite the fixture
Her coffee is beloved elixir
Or harried mother, works long hours
Through morn or night she staunchly powers
A restaurant job can suit this life
Though balanced home is sacrificed
Do we ever, when we’re out
Of this person, think about?
The one who brings us drink and food
Trade life they lead? We never would!
There’s chance we did it long ago
Hardest job most of us know
So when we’re dining, cut them slack
And when it’s busy, don’t give them flack
There’s little break, their butts they bust
And when you tip, be generous
They appreciate acknowledgement
And showing just how well things went
Feel satisfied when you depart
The waitress truly served with heart!
