The Irony of Sand Castle

Money, money, everywhere,
But not a single cent to spare,
For waiters like me, who bust their asses,
To serve the guests by the masses.
A filthy bathroom and crew quarters,
Goddamn Greeks, those fucking hoarders.
New extension going up,
Without a thought to those who put in the hardest work.
Oh how it seems so Ironic.

Note: Once again a corny poem, this one sorta rhymes. Written on a napkin Sunday night at work, expressing my feelings about how the owner chooses to spend his money. All for what the guests see, none for what I see, behind closed doors.
