The Greasy Spoon Family

by Nicole M. - Gemini

A town without much
  the bar...Lulu's
   A filthy truck stop, with filthy truckers
A run-down motel consisting all of 20 rooms
  And the Watkins' classiest resturaunt
Run the Family of the Backwoods.
  
  Motoring around in a '87 van
They meanduer out, and sort of waddling
  hereditary glandular problem.
Grease and food stains dabbled on their size too small t-shirts
   To this day, I'm not sure whether they had a son or a daughter.
  Each time I ate there, it was a little less appetizing...
     The young one sitting in my booth, asking to taste everything...
  The mother checking the warmth of my mashed potatoes by submerging her finger...
    And their cook/grandfather seasoning a chicken fried steak with cigarette ashes.

But they play their part
  And have there place in my poe-dunk town's society...
Coming back home
   It seems a little different.
