Applebee's Poem by Benjamin Mitchell

Applebee's



I know when I am being worked:
That sleight of eye, slight curve of lip
Yet, even then, I'm not quite irked
Even if 'twas for the tip.

I patronize her skill
As one who gives to street performers
It may be all for naught, but still:
I'm but a man; thus must adore her

And if that means twenty percent
Ought not such love pay all her rent?
