A Contractors Life
My Father built and repaired houses.
Like my Mother, I have a fear of potentially,
terrible disasters; They are well-founded, you see.
I’ve seen the nail-through-the-finger;
the fall from ladders and his face,
the day that someone’s hammer broke a light bulb
And glass shards dotted his face.
After a while, the ER employees knew him by name.
Nevertheless, he went to work every day, quite proudly
and returned in the evenings for his,
aspirin and pre-supper, nap.
