She works in Iceland at the till <br />And gives the older men a thrill, <br />I guess I really like her too <br />As I stand there fumbling in the queue. <br />She's not some youngster fresh from school <br />Who's bound to treat you as a fool, <br />Some teenager who thinks they're cool <br />(Curt and dismissive as a general rule) . <br />She's pretty in a homely way <br />And a smile from her can make my day, <br />Her name is Lyndsey and she's fine - <br />I wish that I could make her mine, <br />But I am just an average guy <br />And don't have time to wonder why <br />The world is made a better place <br />By an honest girl with a friendly face!<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-check-out-girl/
