It says a lot when
you realise
you have more friends
from back then
than you have today.

They tell me
that hospitality is
a calling,
a vocation,
I think I
need relocation away
from the madhouse.

this is
industry,
a production line
where the turnover of people
is greater than the sum of their
time.

It's okay if you can paint that
smile on your face and
keep it in place,
but for me
it's just industry.

and one that needs looking into.


When the animals take over the zoo
and you're paid in peanuts
while they drink the honey
It's not ******* funny
it's more than off key
it's another example
of corrupt industry.

On a more serious note
who did you vote for?
the company that keeps its
workers tied to
drudgery, who then have to claim
from the state to top up thier
pay?
which means
on top of your service charge
there's
an extra charge on you
so you can dine with the diners
down at the zoo

Tax deductible
reprehensible ,
minus
expenses
dinner for two.
Employers destroying employment values.
