The Bottom Line Scribbled on a pad at work during lunch break.
You want something on your cheeseburger baby? car pulls in like mamas being cautious Sure do medium rare and she smiles at me And then to workboots: Sorry baby we dont take no hundred dollar bills its just company policy But its all workboots has as mamas little girl explores the parking lot McDonalds Colonel they all the same baby and pigtails checks me out just a little afraid Thats OK Ill change it out of my purse and workboots smiles and looks for the tip jar Cheeseburger! Everything! right in my ear but Im a bit off to the side Cheeseburger! I hear you! and were laughing as she says: Three fourteen baby and then the rhythmic sound slap slap slap and the slow driver saying: Get your a s s back in that car Did I tell you you could get out of that car? And the sound is like a railroad train moving slowly slap slap slap and where in the hell did she get that belt? Because its just there like it was always there and the little girl crying, frozen as I get my change back right on time Two dollars and eleven cents slap slap slap And then shes in the back seat and the belt is gone and her sisters looking straight ahead with no expression and the big tear on pigtailss left cheek a perfect silhouette and I can see right through it to the street beyond through this drop of honey and I know her little bottom isnt really hurt that badly and Im standing there with my cheeseburger |
