Slim Dorkin's Morning Coffee Poem by Jim McGill

This is about how some of us listen and how most of us don't.

Slim Dorkin's Morning Coffee

G'd morning from the Slim crew
I'm so glad to see your back.
Such a lovely morning too.
Now, what can I get for you?
A medium decaf black.

As a Slim Dorkin's genial host
I appreciate your honest feedback
In here, you're first and foremost
Will that be Regular or Dark Roast?
A medium decaf black.

At Slim's there is no compromise
Our client service is never slack
I get here before most arise
So, I'll ask you now...what size?
A medium decaf black .

Slim Dorkin's is the Canadian dream
Whether you drive Kia or Cadillac
You are welcomed by the team
That was...how many cream?
A medium decaf black.

Drop into Slim's if you're a commuter
For a coffee, a donut, or a snack
I must get it all into this computer
You asked for one or...two sugar?
A medium decaf black .

Slim Dorkin's at home or highway
For excellence we won a plaque
It says our coffee's better than any
Can you tell me now...how many?
A medium decaf black.

Our Team is both efficient and subtle
Now let me read you what I've got
To avoid any fuddle duddle rebuttal
A large, regular, double, double?
Shi...Shucks! Sure, why not!

Slim Dorkin's serves all trades...in fact
Be you police, fireman, or a guy in hard hat
Or drive truck, train or sail the Great Lakes
We go out of our way to do what it takes
But please, don't waste our time like that
With your friggin 'medium decaf black.'
