An original poem.


-------------

all in a day's

work is long, hard, dull, and boring but
why must i continue?this drudgery is
killing me is what it will
do you have any idea how often
i can't keep on like this because
it will stop, but not in time for it to
help Help HELP please listen to
me and you have no choice in the
matter of fact, this is just like
slavery was forbidden but it
continues to drive me crazy and
insane is what
this job is for the birds...



coffee break

I love the way you impact the reader with your "run on" sentences that expresses an urgency and sincerity of feelings. It's as if you're about to scream...and you do with that, "help Help HELP" plea! Well done, Father!

HAHAHAHAHA although this is serious Fr...
It made me laugh....I relate to it...
I am so burned out at the moment..
I need more than a coffee break...
a few extra arms and legs would do..
not enough of me to go around..
I love the form..how you connected
the lines...great flow...beautiful work..

lol i'm feelin this, having had jobs like this, which, fortunately, i lost not soon after. i think that god has a way of moving us where he wants us to be and putting us in situations that make us confront those issues of impatience and short-sightedness...lol

i think i need a coffee break now. ;) wonderful write!
