A New Job

A New Job Dr. James E. Martin ©January, 2014 The job was more intense than he thought Had he bit off more than he ought? His routine began long before dawn This resulted in more than an occasional yawn. His first week at work lasted a year He constantly hoped it would disappear. Friday finally came with much fanfare His feet and back did greatly despair. Before he knew it the weekend was gone Attention to sore feet he had dutifully shown. Now it was back to more of the same Would he be able the torture to tame? He quickly discovered to his dismay That week number two was more like play. He had endured week one and passed the test He was much more able than he’d initially guessed. Weeks became months, months became years Gone were the worries and his outright fears. Promotions had come and not very slow He was now ready to retire as CEO.
