Analysis of Manager-in-Chief
She would order the biggest
A good 20 minutes off
From gattling gun pace.
Judy would Master
The front counter, anyways.
Always did, with flair.
Specially for the Seniors.
So many new workers.
Mostly East Indian.
Very courteous but
And their English?
The Owner had done
A Staff Sweep.
Ten months back.
Several good friends walked.
Oh well, the holiday
Was mid January.
The Dominican with Steve
He had the time booked
Took some doing.
But they had it locked up now.
No one knew.
No one, that she
Was not coming back.
Cousin Leanne had
Convinced her about
Real Estate, and a
Little more independence.
Civil hours, nice clothes
Market was crazy
With inflated prices.
Fortunes to be made.
And after a good
Dose of sun and fun.
