Local Steakhouse by poet Russell Sivey
I sit down
After eight hours of ______(order)
And waiting on the customers
I must relax
From a day’s work waiting the tables
That have been mine since I started
Steak is my specialty
So I tell my customers
And the food here ___(be) excellent
It’s not just a line
It really is good here
I worked fifty eight hours
Just in one week
And I get the normal overtime
Just time and a half
Not much considering
All the extra work I do
I help ____(clean) the tables
I get the menus all set up together
And I make sure the chairs
Are all in their places
I want my area _____(be) in perfect shape
So when the customers come
They are impressed
By how this place looks
And start their pleasant stay
At my steakhouse
I greet, seat, and treat
All the customers that come into this restaurant
I tell each one
The daily specials
Which, in my opinion
Aren’t worth the price we charge them
But they order them anyway
And with a smile
I tell them thank you
And I turn in the order
I do this for each table
Saying that I am so _______ they came in
And that I will take their order now
I serve each _______ as if they are family
They appreciate this
And I’ve seen many repeat customers
That want to sit
In my area
They want me to be their ____
I easily approach them
And lovingly take their order and serve them
With the greatest of joy
And when they leave
It’s the tip that keeps me alive
The work is alright
But the tip is what keeps me _____(work) there
I collect all of them for the fifty eight hours
That I have worked there this week
And I deposit them into my bank
Where I must have the money
To pay all my bills
Life requires so much
And I need this job
To stay afloat
I don’t know if I would ever be anything else
This is my life
And I am the _______
At the local steakhouse
