Lonely Grey Lady At Mcdonalds Comments

Standing at the deli counter of the grocery store Waiting for the order, adding just a slice more. Alongside stands a lady who seems hesitant to choose Which of the temptations, which will lose? Ask me what the hard salami is, I offer her a sample, which the market freely gives. Tasty is her reply as it's gone in a flash But perhaps, the cost is too much cash. Now the slicing attendant starts on the first cut pastrami 'That looks so good' she says, 'I wonder if they'll give a sample to me? ' 'Take a sample of mine' I say. I think it's better than the round Spices and salty brine add something, profound.' 'I like it, ' she says, wiping her chin 'Do you make sandwiches, thick or thin.' 'Add swiss cheese and on thick slices of bread Toast them until the cheese is melted and flavors wed.' 'My what a treat that is for you And for your family too? ' 'No it's just me alone. Got to be going. So long.' Then I made a turn around the store And returned to spy on her standing there. She'd joined another in conversation And soon was given a sample of another taste sensation. Minnie the Moocher was in her element The free food was Heaven sent. s David, your poem reminded me of this event at the local grocery.

Lovely compassionate poem well written.

A sensitive poem that says a lot.
