Have Change For a Ten?

  She wasn’t feeling well that day Paying for the night before Stayed up too late drinking  Woke up on the floor   Decided to have her breakfast out She did soon discover Runny eggs and lumpy grits  Would not help her to recover    Add harsh black coffee to the mix Her stomach removed all doubt  What a bad idea it really was  To eat her breakfast out   Sitting in the diner Her stomach doing flips Made her hurry to the restroom  On one of many trips   Collapsing on the toilet Having made it just in time Trying to find some toilet paper Key thing on her mind   No toilet paper anywhere  Neither right nor left In this moment of great need She was so bereft   Restroom attendant said “we’ll get more toilet paper, I just don’t know when “ Ensconced on the pot, she asked  “Do you have 2 fives for a ten?”
