What Maisie Doesn't Tell

With a grin you could hang in a closet,
and a laugh that could scramble eggs -
with a bounce to her walk
that threatens to talk,
Maisie's the waitress to get.

She jokes with cook and dishwasher,
jokes with regulars and "guests,"
and no one knows how much
it costs Maisie to be this way.

But it's just as well,
and she'll never tell -
for Maisie likes her mask this way.

A sometimes hard life for some...but always
nice to see the smile and the cheerfulness.
Tips better too....enjoyed this write..
