Tips 

What do you think about tips? 

Personally, I hate tips 

They are nothing more than a gip! 

Just tell me the whole amount, including the tip 

I am a detail person needing to know  

The whole amount before I go 

Don’t make me figure 10-20% 

Especially in front of my friends 

If I sit and can’t get it to the penny 

I might give away too many 

Sleepless nights that will bring 

As that will screw my budget thing 

My money comes every month in a fixed amount 

So I can’t spend more than I can count 

Italy is the place to be 

They have no tips to make you worry 

You always know the total cost 

I enjoy my food and never feel lost 

Figuring the tip should not interfere 

With my struggle to enjoy my meal 

Do you hear??
