i found the following poem today in my tip cup it was on a napkin, it makes me miss writing napkin poetry.





TIPPED
I went to the counter shyly
There she stood smiling invitingly
Her eyes flirting with me already
Eye contact, my breath catches
I hope she doesn't notice
She wears too much eye makeup for everyone else
On her though it is somehow right
Her dark glasses make her cheeks appear rounder
When she laughs one ear is higher than the other
I wonder how many boys have pulled on those sweet ears of hers
