DISHWASHER/PANTRY COOK
Hope you enjoyed your meal on a clean plate
Some days are better than others.
There are times where I can walk in
Happy and take off my shirt to put
A chef coat on, leave my knives at
The dishpit, deliver my street clothes
To the locked down stairs and take
The elevator back up to the kitchen
And kick the shit out of the dishes.
{
There are those occasions where
Although it feels like I’m at war I
Can complete every ticket with a
Salad and sigh in relief.
{
Then comes the moments where I feel
I can’t hang – this is too much stress
For a single person to handle.
I can take the heat but it’s going
To boil me alive one of these nights.
{
Unless you’re Sous or Executive,
Kitchen people are under paid for
All the blood, sweat and when it
Breaks down to it – tears – when it
Comes to serving other people.
{
The sacrifice is giving ourselves to
Keep the others satisfied.
That’s the constant kitchen life.
{
Hope you enjoyed your meal on a
Clean plate.
