Thank You, Mr. Lindstadt

by Jeffrey Parren

I've uttered many last names
to thank a guest
who paid using a credit card.

Some names are funny
others difficult
and numerous repeats.

Today I ran
one Mr. Lindstadt's
Visa for payment.

Instantly I wondered
if his mother's name
could have been Ronda,

Mrs. Ronda Lindstadt,
famous whatever
bizaro Linda Ronstadt.

In my mind it was funny
but these are the things
I think of, waiting tables.
