The Bride of Cthulhu

An aspiring young actress who has worked as a waitress in a Manhattan restaurant for the last three years said she worried that restaurants would raise menu prices and switch to a nontipping model if they had to pay servers $15 an hour. The actress, who just landed a role in an independent horror film but declined to be identified to avoid upsetting her employer, said she would not continue as a waitress without the chance to earn tips.

it's called "The Bride of Cthulhu" 

and I got the leading role of fungus bringer

no dialogue but they let me dance mostly

naked

thank god for my barback job

while waiting for my big break

that tip jar fed me cobb salads

and tuna sandwiches

did you know William Shatner

lived on mostly tuna fish

when he was a young actor?

He can't stand it now

fifteen an hour is not a living

wage

if the tips go away

for good

I'd rather work at Zauder Brothers Wigs

they got a strong union I hear

and if I save the castoffs who knows

I could be playing "Bride of the Werewolf"
