They
sat in McDonalds---- His wife and he?
At
least that is what it seemed to be??
They
argued over who should pay the bill,
The
clerk just laughed as he put money in the till.
The
young man, still laughing said,”it seems to me
The
money comes from the same pot, eventually?
The
old man said, “yes if we were married,---- but we are not,”
The
clerks face went red and he stammered a lot.
The
old man smiled, and the clerk said, “sorry mister,”
And
the old man said. “it’s OK she is my Sister.”
She
was all “dolled-up” in pants and a shirt.
He,
in wrinkled pants and a “ragged” sweat shirt.
They
commented how loud the “loud speaker” was,
And
they both adjusted “aids” so their ears would not buzz.
They
commented about kids, their clothes and loud speaking,
Then
reminisced about the past, that perhaps they were seeking.
As
they left a small boy stopped and held open the door,
As
the two old folks hobbled across the floor.
The old man gave the boy $1.00,-- he said for
being polite.
Just
keep it up and we will all win the fight.
The
boy had a smile, a full face wide,
As
he waved the $1.00 to his Dad still inside.
The
Dad gave us a smile, and a great big old wave.
Perhaps
these small acts will cause us all to behave?
