Travo-Burger Drive Inn

The aroma of greasy hamburgers 

And salty french fries

Stain my awkward uniform

As I wait for the clock to strike twelve

And a line filled with indecisive people 

Spread across the checkered tile floor 

To order from our “Atomic Menu”

Frappes and Saturn onion rings 

In bold red letters grasping for attention

And awakening appetites

Variety of fountain sodas 

leading to a hard conclusion

And the same 1950’s hit songs

Playing on a loop over and over

The sound of the bell rings

And the murmur of hungry customers 

Brings me back to focus 

And the lunch rush has started
