Not every
Not Every
Not every car
at an auction
is junk,
but every
junk car
is there.
Not every
bad poem
is in a
contest
but submit
your best.
Not every
waitress is bad
but tip
the best
and call her
by her name.

Thanks for discovering that it works, Coleman…
As a former waitress who worked 11 waitress jobs in my twenties, I thank you!
Solid advice. I like the the “skinny” delivery.
11 waitress jabs in your twenties, bless you Linda…

Love this one!
RT this is sweet and to the point!

Clear and tight. Thanks

appreciate the two part structure of each stanza that pairs a specific with a universal
Nice, Rudy, one of your best! Great way to start the month.
That last stanza is killer.
Fine tuned and beautiful!
