JOBS
Take this
paycheck and stick it where
the sun doth
shine—and p’raps it
will grow
some zeros there. I’m one of those
who still
believes in photosynthesis.
Worked the
early shift yesterday,
found to my
bitter disappointment that there was
no double-time
left over, not a scrap, just time-and-a half
though none
for me. “You came early,” grunted
the shift patriarch,
“go on home and take care of your kids.”
But I need
some moneys, I need some moneys bad.
My kids are
a going concern. They deal by the monkey bars in the park.
One big difference
between Old World and New: Hispanic women
clean the
toilets of tax consultants in La Jolla, while in Brussels
slender-armed
Slavic chicks scrub, after using, the bidets of inflated Eurocrats.
Speaking of
occupational hazards, subtle distinctions, etc.,
someone who
was in the army once told me that right after landing
airborne
soldiers almost always pee: 800 paratroopers
urinating
on a sandy drop-zone in North Carolina. The world
is weird
and wonderful. Sometimes. Every Friday we get free beer. If not
for that
I’d have quit years ago. Not precisely weird but exactly wonderful.
As it appears YouTube has blocked us. So no music at the moment.
We might just change the name of the blog! ;-)
