Poem Artwork

Almost a year, out of work

A change is in store

Three weeks of school

The man on the phone states

Your record is so clean

I can eat off it.

 

Next week Greyhound will take me

Off to Springfield Missouri

On the next phase of my life

A change in job description

Over the road driving

One side of the country to the other

 

Out of the South I’m finally going

Mountains with snow, I’ll get to see

What is around the next bend I’ll know

What is over the next hill well I’ll be!

Driving across this great country

Eighteen wheels and a southern drawl

I can't understand the allure of an 18wheeler, but know many a truck driver - and they enjoy what they do. Be safe, good buddy.
