You can’t make me drink that for 2.13/hr


The 8th round of grape shift-bingo strains
The sugary sweet drink tray
I swear by strawberry goals and spreadsheet sick days

Each kiwi fruit punches in; trusted to tow syrup quarts past
The company line

After last nights chaser
Purple drank paperwork jungle juice my employee rank
Filed with #3’s name tag which reads
“Whatever's Available” or sometimes
“Obsequious”

Cherry red coca-cola bubbling up guest averages
Above and beyond blue razzmatazz
#2’s name tag
must read “the customer is always right,”
but, when read correctly,
“Bootlicker”

Paper Cup Only, sour apple
Grinning very berry burst for better tips
Bottoms up, boss man
#1’s name tag reads “see corporate placard”
the corporate placard reads “kool-aid man”
oh no.
