He Pays me in Dog Food, but its better than nothing…by Rufuz

Poem Artwork

I work really, really hard,

To be a successful bard,

But better are my working habits,

When doing with dad work in the yard…

 

Dad gets to use the power lawn mower,

As well the little gas powered blower,

And the electric edger & weed whacker,

He says I can’t use any of them,

Cause to the ground I am much lower…

 

So I use the rake,

In my mouth I just it take,

And to the pile I do drag the leaves,

He says I will get paid, when his pay he receives…

Ed,
Gorgeous humour and wit here, excellent detail..."Cause to the ground I am much lower..." really shines, and to top it all, a great last line.

Well you will never go hungry Rufuz, so you have a good Daddy. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie hugs, Rose

LOL, Rufuz, I hear you. At least he pays you something - your Daddy doesn't turn you out into the street - beat you - you are fortunate. :) Well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sounds like the typical American worker story today - overworked and underpaid. It might be time for a work stoppage, or a boycott, and you probably need a good lawyer, Rufuz. If you want to strike, let us know, and we'll be there to walk the picket line with you - we have lots of experience.
