Some things money can't buy as they say but would sure help...
Beer Glass Rings She could have been a movie star Could have really went real far Instead of here waiting tables At this crummy karaoke bar Should have really went to school She was smart nobody�s fool Could have been a doctor Or a lawyer that�d be cool She might have married money Found herself a rich old honey Lived the life of luxury She thinks that�s kind of funny She wipes up a beer glass ring Picks up empties starts to sing Smiles and pockets the five dollar tips Hopes his roaming hands won�t cling She closes up and heads out alone To the little guy who waits at home Soon he�ll be up for his Cheerios Her little man has really grown Her husband greets her at the door Holds her tight with kisses pure His back hurts too from labor sore Smiles unite so they�re never poor!

Waitresses are so undervalued. (I see cousin Steve down there is still bitter about 'lawyers'...certainly can't blame him).

Neat saga in verse Bro Felix. Reminds me of the movie scenes in "Butterfly Effect."

Dear Felix,
This is beautiful!! I love how you write about real life issues in such a loving and responsible way!! Soon, it'll be cool, to do the "right" thing! Let the power of love be shown for what it really is!
Love, Suzie :-D
