Wimpy's Hustle
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
The motto of a legend
The mantra of a manipulator
The phrase of a master
To get what he wanted
A morsel of a juicy
Tasty
Seasoned
Quarter pound of ground beef
People knew he was a moocher
A degenerate
A hustler
A man who would stretch the truth
Tell a lie
Sell his mother for a nickel
Just to get his favorite delicacy
So he schmoozed them
Charmed them with his humor
Played an inevitable game
To get what he wanted
Whether it be Popeye
Rough House
Olive Oyl
Or the various cast of characters
And in the end of the day
No matter the situation
He always got what he wanted
A hamburger
On the house
Jon Harder
