Today's Gossip

.
There's no where else to go 'round here,
This small town has no use for me.

I drive in, signs read "Welcome, friend",
And leaving, read "Please come again",
None in between all those that say
"Sorry, We're Closed", "No Openings".

But that's okay, just passing through.
I sit a spell at Mavis' cafe
To nurse and sip my cup o' Jo',
My eyes on angled cars & trucks.

You see, no one will ever know
As long as I try not to speak,
And tip the waitress fifty cents,
Though Mavis died a year last week.
