I’d been busting my ass

With exercise and diet food,

Trying to shed a few pesky pounds 

Of cellulite 

That no one seemed to care about but me,

And finally, the Walmart greeter asked me out.

Well actually, he just asked me if I had Facebook,

But I’m definitely going to friend him.

You see, he comes with his own chair,

And he’s painfully aware of his own mortality.

He’s looked trouble square in the face,

And still knows a nice ass

When he sees one.

He’s redeeming the time

While he checks receipts,

And wants some of mine,

And can have it, too,

Because he and I share

An acquaintance named Reality,

And we recognize the value 

Of Time well spent.
