CHECKER

Codes and computers
updates and specials
coupons and discounts
cash, checks and plastic
customers with questions
some like to chat
about this and that
while others in line
are watching the clock
a stressful, harried job yet
there are exceptions to that.

My favorite checker
an affable not so young lady
with lovely reddish hair
blessed with abundant freckles
green eyes that sparkle
a warm smile on her round face
cheerful and happy
refreshing is her grace
sometimes my imagination
seems to run astray
wouldn't it be delightful
if hers went the same way.
