Full Service Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Full Service

Rating: 5.0


I remember as a lad
The full service we once had

My Father, pulling into a service station
Being greeted by an attendant they all had

He would gas you up, clean the windshield,
Check the oil, and make change

You would receive, a plate, cup,
or saucer, without leaving the car

Now at sixty six, times have changed
It is all self service, what a shame

So true! Plus they would check your battery and the air in your tires and anything else you needed. Kim
