The Daily Grind
And the week does slowly progress
My hope if I may
Is that the daily take is not less
On occasions
As I stand there
It is like an invasion
Other times I must ask where
For I have seen almost no one
Some days can be dull
Others can be fun
Is this just a lull?
Perhaps it is all I will get
I should have remembered my umbrella
Today it is very wet
The weather is playing havoc with my patella
My fingers and toes
Are feeling so cold
All the way up to my knees and elbows
Is it just a sign I am getting old?
If it doesn't improve soon
I am going home
It's too early though, not yet noon
Maybe this afternoon will be sunny
I will be busy
And make me lots of money
If I am working that hard I will get dizzy!

Post a CommentCute and hilarious and poignant, all at once. Good job! :)
Old....that's what it is, John...old is setting in and you can no longer warm your bones! Funny and quite sweet writing!
This is food for thought! (^;^) I certainly can relate to weather wrecking havoc on knees, fingers, and toes. It gets tougher as we get older, too; thanks to bad weather and my friend "Arthur-itis!"
This is humorous, poignant, and thought provoking at the same time. Nicely done!
