A Long Time

Endicott Road

Literally hot off the press, this is how my life is going right now.

(c)2012 T.A.Beckett

I used to work in an office.
White collar job just the same.
Order this and order that.
Put the Devil to shame.

Then one day the boss man
Asked me to change what I do.
Now I’m working in the back.
White collar traded for blue.

Now I drive the forklift,
Tote that barge/lift that bale most of the day.
I said I’d do it for just one reason:
To keep my job and my pay.

He said it was temporary.
Things will get better was his line.
Two year and I’m still waiting.
I’ll be doing this a long time.

I don’t mind the physical work.
Good for the heart, so they say.
But my muscles get awful sore.
So tired at the end of the day.

I’m not a young man.
Double nickel is my age.
Don’t want to do this at sixty five.
Time to turn another page.
