The Day Bartender Track

THE DAY BARTENDER I’m the day bartender at the Early Bird Saloon and from 6 o’clock to noon I pour breakfast for the soaks who can’t hold a fork and spoon I take ham and scrambled egg then I draw one from the keg and mix them in the blender I’m the day bartender for the lushington and lout For the bitter and the stout And on Sundays there’s communion for the drunkenly devout To the racetrack from the flop this is where they make a stop to begin their bender Still, who am I to critique When I’m standing here pouring beers so many years in the darkness every morning of the week I’m the day bartender I may be their only friend or maybe just a money lender Or just a nodding head to comprehend their former splendor Irregardless of your gender the tips are always slender for the day bartender
