If I have another life
to live
I want to be a scholar
I want to be a technician
I want to be a teacher
I want to be a philosopher
I want to be learned
Hell, I want to be
the Maytag Man
and fix washing machines
using my knowledge
oiling dry gear boxes
replacing worn out parts
fixing what's not right
learning the trade
watching dirty laundry
going round and round
like a charade
to wash away the dirt
down the drain
like a wheel spins
stiring up dust and gravel
and debris
it spins round and round
to wash the universe
I want to be a scholar
and learn all about cosmic dust
and the spinning thus
I want to be a Maytag Man
so I can fix the wheels delay
that spin and wash away
the dirty laundry
that our lives leave us
I just want to be clean again
Oh yes I remember the Maytag Man. :) I love the way that you wrapped this up in the last line. It gives me a feeling of going back to a more innocent time. Great write! Janet
