Poems
Dec 2018
Labouring
Dig, dig and dig the dirt,
Sweat stains occupy most of the t-shirt,
Energetic, powerful bursts,
Keep shovelling until it hurts,
Hard hat caste system,
Know who's in charge and who's the assistant,
Burger vans appear wouldn't want to miss them,
A line of ketchup to add some vitamins,
Cancer sticks help to break up the day,
For torrential rain certain builders pray,
Happily take no play; no pay.
