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.
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.

Going to the Bathroom
A parody of Going to the Chapel. I had this coworker back at a job I had up till 2006 and he would do this constantly. He did get written up once, but still continued to do this. I figure he worked about half his shift and the other half did stuff like this to get out of work and he was the highest paid. He was also my favorite coworker which shows how bad some of my coworkers were.
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?

NO !
Written 6-2-07 while serving 90 days for a probation violation. I was writing about the inmates. I wrote over 100 rhyming stories about everything in the jail. I stayed busy.
A Job
Regretting my job decisions I have made in my life. I think really the thing that haunts me most is my acute shyness around people. It has plaqued me my entire life. I am jealous of people who have social skills and smarts with tools.
Another Monday
Not a morning person
~five of seven~
Too often companies will forget all what you've done for them creating an all about them, which in turn pushes away good employees that have heart in their job's.

At rush hour in any town, people race, people frown, bloody hell they'd knock you down, like soldier ants on a quest, from here to there no time to rest, catch a bus, catch a train, stand in line in the rain, bumper to bumper on the motorway, a
"Liquid Comfort"
Just got home from two long days of intensive labor - working for a friend in need. I stopped at a local gas station and looked for something cool, refreshing, soothing, satisfying..... I found it and then decided to write about it's marvelous effects upon my thirst!! What a gift Chocolate Milk is!!!

Just Another Day
Had to work again on Saturday. They made us come in late which really sucks. I am used to leaving at 1 pm, and once got to leave at 10 am, that was neat. They have an old Rick Dees Top 40 countdown on from 7 am to 11 am. I listen to that on my first break. One song was Bryan Adams Summer of 69 from 1985.
Road Warrior
I wrote this July 29th 2007 after a really long day. And thought to myself, truck drivers need a lil pat on the back from time to time :)
The Mystery Beneath
The mystery beneath where you can look but not touch; curiosity seekers want more, but there’s not much. A missing WWII plane found off the Florida coast has generated much interest in learning about it's ghost. Who was on this plane and

Learn The Meaning of Rest
Self reflection into a busy life...and a search for its meaning.
Benefits of knowledge
An experimental poem with many deviations, I am sure, as an example of benefits of learning from my fellow poets how to write terzanelles, pantoums, etc. It is up to them to decide whether this particular poem is a terzanelle or not. Any comments are beneficial, therefore very welcome.
