Soda Jerk
 
 

in a land of milk and money
i'm lactose intolerant
and broke.

you think that's funny
i'm drinking a free coke

taken from a machine
without a heart

stocked by a Ph.d
in philosophy

whose parents wanted
a lawyer in the family.

He only craves
his dream job:

teaching anger management
to silver spoon dropouts.
