Free Coffee At The Greasy Spoon

Another cup of coffee please

Free Coffee At The Greasy Spoon

5 dimes rest on the cafe counter top

Left behind by a visitor who dined

Waitresses must honor pancake wishes

As they disappear into the kitchen

Swinging doors slam hard behind

The Greasy Spoon makes dishes fly

Coins are unattended at this moment

Priscilla is the locale hobo burglar girl

In need of soap & water and free coffee

At this time she requires dimes

5 would suffice to buy some time

She hides beneath a filthy scarf

Commits the deed with slippery fingers

A well practiced cough as a distraction

Absconds with fifty cents and then gets caught

Officer Flynn is the long arm of the law

Sees everything hidden in the dark

Priscilla learns a valuable lesson about free coffee

It taste much better after being arrested

Compliments of tax payers and the prison system

I would go as far as to say delicious!
