That girl with a steady job who lives on 

Tips helped me get through college which got me this job.

That person I met last Monday who used to live in

That diner across the street when they were a toddler.

/

Miss Goodness in the heart whose permanent address is

My parents tipped 10% and taught me a lot.

That person who learnt from the stories they were taught 

And now live on the ‘what goes around, comes around’ lot.

/

That marketing executive who left a part of his heart

In that apartment where his friend on a scholarship taught

Him what a good tip can mean 

For the underpaid workers of their favorite Coffee Queen.

/

The person who has a permanent room in

My parents send me money every month
