Abandoned
You stand empty. You stand silent. Your windows broken. Your machines scrapped. Your workers gone. The rails rusty, The lots empty. The lights off. The smokestacks cold. The gates locked. The end reached.
Burnout
A parody of Wipeout by the Fat Boys who did a parody of Wipeout by the Beach Boys.

Burnout
There has a been a crunch at work lately, for the most part it has been pretty low on overtime in the last three years.
A Field Worker's Soil
Most people (ignorant, so to speak) immediately assume that all hispanic immigrants are good for nothings, that they belong in the rice fields. Little do they know, hispanics in general are labor ready workers, hard-workers, willing to sacrifice whatever it is necessary to provide their families with daily food. They're underpaid and disrespected, this poem was written in honor of those great men whose fruit is the product of their labor.
Quick Ways to Make Money
Just bumming once again about work and the possible jobs out there, if I got really desperate, so far I'm just gonna suck it up!
The Irrelevance of War
This is a line I came across by an unknown source. The writer did not give his name. Anonymous.
Candy Cruiser
having fun writing some rap lyrics
Coworkers
Just ragging about my job, but it could be any of the jobs I have had. Social interaction has always been a real crapper for me. I was asked what I liked best about my job. I answered the ride home.
Nine Years
I remember mowing grass in 1988 and not knowing how much oil to add and filling it all the way up. The manager saw the smoke and kicked my off that job and back to the back in the dishroom.
Feeling the Pain
Bummed out again, at least I got to go home three hours early.
Slip Sliding Away
A parody of Paul Simon's Slip Sliding Away. The winters in Wisconsin can make for some dangerous driving conditions.
Frozen
I worked the day after I saw this movie, I was freaked at work all day!
instinct
I could've had religion but I loved God too much I could've fought for a living in boxing rings and such but I guess we are who we are and we can't outrun ourselves and the traits that make us rounded are often stored in others shelves I
Good Companies To Work For?
Work is what you make it they say. I blame myself for not planning my life better so the good jobs were more plentiful. I hope your work history was a happier one.

It's Hot Hot Hot!
Another hot day, maybe the planet is heating up.
wrapped hands
all I was given was strength a dull and blunted tool I stare out at beauty with the clarity of a fool all I was given was ferocity a rulebook without rules a limited life vocabulary an outdated set of tools all you were given was beauty
The Third Companion
This was created 15 years ago for a personal website in order to make one-of-a-kind furniture and sculptural items for sale. There's an old saying that 'life is what happens when you're making other plans'. I went through the big "D", then shifted outta ON-Terrible to BC, then hence to NS these past 11 years.
Mandroid.
A factory full of odds and ends, assembled and arranged in lines by non-mechanical beings. Punchdrunk time cards chart their lives through typical weeks with typical tasks. Printing the barcodes, scanning the barcoded things. Plotting points on a
A Farmer's Rule of Thumb
Farming is a fickle business. You really must be willing to work with as well as wait for Mother Nature; and have tons of courage, cunning, and faith in order to succeed when so many others fail.
Weeping Ageless
Dedicated to my mom who died unexpectedly
The Top Row
I really wished I had stuck it out with teaching, at least I got every weekend off, even if the kids drove me crazy!
Come on let's play

Milk
I am really dreading all this crap with hard working people getting the shaft again and again and again. I've done some farm work in my past. These people really work their butts off to keep us all well fed.
950 bucks
Imagine working at a job for years and finding out that a temp is making 400 dollars a week more than you are. That is just one of the many things that works me up and drives me crazy. This Trump health care plan would be great if everyone would be covered as good as people who are disabled or are in prison. Our health care system is a cruel joke!
9 Days Left To Go
It is so darn cruel out there. All these jobs that come and go. It just seems to get crueler every year. The wages go down and prices go up and these money lending places are making a killing off of this dying consumer. I've seen more humanity with a bunch of crows picking at a dead squirrel on the road!
THE FRONT GATE MESSIAH
FOR LOVING CATS, I WAS FIRED FROM A JOB THAT I TRUELY ENJOYED! GO FIGURE! I EARNED THE NICKNAME FRONT GATE MESSIAH BECAUSE THE SUPERVISORS WOULD COME TO ME FOR ANSWERS! THEY SAID SOME PEOPLE CAN WORK THE GATE, BUT TRAVIS; IS THE GATE!
Hit The Road Jack!
Possible job cuts have been announced where I work some time next year. This song has been playing in my head since. The original is by Ray Charles.
Minimum Wage
I was listening to a cd book by Glenn Beck and had to go to a different cd that didn't deal with the minimum wage debate. Are there employers out there that believe as I do that workers should be properly taken care of?
Job Rap
I used to work at Hardee's from 1988- 1993. I was so disgusted with the job and the low pay I didn't even give a two week notice. I just walked in and placed my uniforms on the counter and left. The average fast food worker will stay on for about four months. I stayed four years and four months.

Flare Side
A parody of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch "Wild Side". These are some of the people I have worked with.
Prison Life
I was reading this book about prison life. At least I get to go home at 3.
Daydream
Another painful day at work, this song came to mind.
Employee Chart 1966-2015
Took me about 10 minutes to write down all the years of hire at my job. It seems kind of ironic that the two biggest hire years are the ones I got hired on. I was hired in 2007 and let go in 2008. Then hired on again in 2013.
