Working for the Government

posted fb 28th January  

#350 Working for the government

I work for the Government
sitting on the dole
I sign on fortnightly
I do as I am told

I really should be out there
raising up a fuss
but there are no jobs
as they have failed  all of us

I see people hustling
to make ends meet
there is less on the table
eating has become a treat

Our children may never work
this makes me sad
as I have experienced being useful
I don’t just mean being Mum and Dad

we wait for the old to move on
so we can take their seats
they are reluctant to sit down
they remain on their feet

how did it get so bad?
what has gone on?
it doesn’t matter who is in charge
they’ve all got it wrong!

The last Poem???

#365 Sunday

I love Sunday
say what you want
it isn’t like any other day

it ends the weekend
it starts the week
it is a day that can’t be beat

whether you spend all morning in bed
waiting patiently to be fed
there is something special about this day
that separates it from other days

some chose to go to church
some spend the day in front of the stove
waiting for the family to sit down
to a lovely family lunch

we now have the luxury of going to the shops
this is something I think should really stop
as if there isn’t enough time during the week
this is some anti family plot
we really should defeat
