what's with the big spoon


they tease you
with a bump in a pay.
it's always been that way.
a ten-cent raise.
another
dollar, matched
in your retirement.
social security sending
you notice
that you'll get a few
more hundred of your money
back each month,
that they so nicely
saved for you.
restaurants do it to with
their big spoons,
ladling on
the rice and beans, the meat,
the spoon half full.
why have a big spoon if
you're not going to use it?
come on man.
quit being so stingy
with the money, the food.
