My Most Embarrassing Moment

My Most Embarrassing Moment I had been performing at the top of my game for years Not once had I caused any ‘on the job’ pains or tears I have often heard it said that all good things must end None are perfect, and therefore make mistakes now and then On a nice and sunny day that quickly turned wet with rain It was one that brought me total embarrassment and pain I, a delivery driver, I’m ashamed to say, lost some of my cargo I was afraid of losing my job as I went looking up, down, to and fro No excuse! If I were my boss, I would have fired me and not hesitated Our cargo was highly sensitive material and government regulated. Unlike thousands of other work days, that particular day, I was not focused. I was harder on myself than anyone else ever was, and felt totally disgusted. The contracting company whose products I had lost demanded that I be fired. My company’s owner refused such demands; firing me was not what he desired. 07162016 PS Contest, My Most Embarrassing Moment, by Cindi Rockwell
