Why does Greggs have free wi-fi?
If it's because the queues are so long
Employing faster staff wouldn't be wrong
The housewives, chavs and champion pie eaters
Lives wouldn't stop because of wi-fi hiatus
Its sad at how busy their lives must be
If they can't spare a minute or three
Yes, time is important when dealing in shares
It makes and breaks today's millionaires
But high financiers is not who they are
This queue of people through the door ajar
Most of these are just folk off the street
Just out in town for their high fat treat
But what's for certain without any doubt
They're queuing for pasties they want to take out
So why do they need access to wi-fi
When standing in line for piping hot pies
Standing, fidgeting, giving a screen a quick look
Updating their status on Twitter or Facebook
"I'm queuing in Greggs for a chicken bake"
"Two doughnuts, a cookie and a piece of cake"
The queue shuffles forward, they move to the head
Their mouths salivating, waiting to be fed
Then out of the shop clutching their paper bag
Sit down on a bench and light another fag
They eat their choice of flaky delectation
With crumbs down their front from mastication
All of this takes just a minute or two
Just two minutes of their life in a fast food queue
I know that the world demands to be connected
But surely their life events won't be affected
I understand all this but the question it begs
Why is there free wi-fi when queuing at Greggs?
