“Can I have some?”
She pleaded
“For the children?”
She needed
A variety of BBQ, ketchup and salt
“It’s for the children
You see”
Shaking her outstretched palms
Then she sauntered back over
To the table packed full of Happy Meals
Trays about to wobble over the edge
Tossed the dips towards their salty, little fingers
And barked at them to hurry up
