A Hard Working Man

A Hard Working Man Many days have gone by and still I hear you across from the depot There you sat on a bar stool and took off your ring Thought I'd try to get a closer look, so I walked on over As I sat down and started to ask him his name Then the drinks finally had an effect on him He then blurted out, " I say I'm no quitter!" But I finally quit living on dreams. I tell you I'm so hungry for laughter, for here and ever after I am after whatever comes to me each and every other to which life has to offer. Then I took an impish glance in the mirror and watched him In an instant, I thought he had looked so out of place. Then he turned and glanced my way and sat down beside me; For an instant, a strange look was seen on his face His huge hands were immensely calloused He was one mighty mountainous of a man For one moment I felt so out of place and had feared. Then as I turned to leave, his voice had turned to molten lava Please dear lady, can you spare the time to keep me company? I just had the worst news so humanly possible, I just lost my papa! Can you spare an extra hour so we can just sit here and talk; I promise you I'll never ask you to commit to anything wild and impossible. One look in his soft brown eyes told me that he could be trusted Okay, I will stay with you for awhile as long as you stop playing that same song over and over. Yes, lady, I will accommodate you to whatever you like and offer you a drink and some nice talk.
