Poems About Labour And Industry

Public (Dis)Service

One hand holds my coffee-cup,
While one hand holds the wheel,
I drive myself to work each day,
But what is the appeal?

I listen to my clientele,
Who often have a gripe,
I try to please them when I can,
But they just want to fight.

It seems they're never satisfied,
Although I give my time,
And then when all is said and done,
I hardly make a dime.

I wonder if it's worth it, that
I work here all day long,
For when I think that I've done right,
Some think that I've done wrong.

But it is for my wife and kids,
I work here everyday,
And do the things that I must do,
To make a little pay.

And when I see my children, with
A smile upon each face,
I know the reason that I work,
And why I run the race.
