A Waitress Determines If Men Can Multitask !

Deek Robertson

Lifting my skirt tae adjust my stocking  
I ask the age auld question sae mocking
“Do you prefer your fresh fish wi’ batter?”
An’ insteid o’ twa cogs clunk the gaithers
I heard fowr cogs gang clunk, crash, clunk, clatter -
Answer’s the same, as kent by a’ maithers !

About this poem
