Waitress in a Donut Shop

(For all my waitress friends.)

I'm a waitress in a donut shop
I make the cofee. I stock, I mop.
They make me wear pink which
isn't my color.

"Is the coffee fresh?" they always say.
"Well when was it made, what time today?"
Sometimes I lie.

"This isn't fresh. I only ate half,
you'd better give my money back."
Oh, lady...

They wait in line, I guess they snooze,
when it's their turn they cannot choose
They're only donuts.

I'm just a cipher to you,
a purveyor of Boston Cremes
But I'm a woman too and
I have hopes and dreams.
So give a thought next time you stop,
to me - I'm just your waitress in a donut shop.
