Evelyn

is in her sixties
she is under five feet
and from Sri Lanka
her english is broken
and when she says no
she nods her head yes
and vice versa

she was recieving $6 hour
the rest of us were getting $6.25

I told melvyn
and he told robyn
melvyn said the problem
would be fixed shortly

evelyn went to sri lanka
to see her daughter
when she returned
we talked about her trip
and her daughter

then she showed me a pay stub
still $6, so I complain but again
nothing is done

day after day
evelyn shows me her paystub
i try not to care
but i am weak man

so i promise evelyn she'll get her quarters back
and her wage will be brought up to current levels

she looks into my eyes,
shakes her head and says

yes
