Workin'Woman Blues

Aching feet Legs feel like sticks Back and shoulders Need a fix. Hands arthritic, Can't take the cold Workin' too hard And gettin' old. Too tired body Depletes my mind Devastated by The daily grind Here comes Thursday Friday's best Thankful for A weekend rest.

I like this. The simplicity of it provides the poem with a sense of pathos. The rhyme structure is spot on and well constructed. the obvious rhymes ('mind' - 'grind', 'cold' - 'old') may seem cliche but I think that the cliches are given a new leash of life in this poem. The title is great and understates the meloc feel of the poem.
