Because I Work Fast Food

That night at the grocery store
working at my second job
selling newspaper subscriptions
asking all who walked by
“Are you a subscriber?”
“Like a free paper?”

“Sure” she said
“May I ask why you don’t subscribe?”I said.
“Because I work fast food”she said as she headed for the apples.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Good thing to eat if you work fast food.
Working less than a full 40 hours gets you no health insurance.
And no newspaper.
