Howard Osborne Poet Sonnet

Cheers For the Janitor

CHEERS FOR THE JANITOR

I suppose I may be found in cluttered closets
Or in empty rooms after hours I’m prowling
Cleaning up so many unmentionable deposits
That’s partly why they say I’m often scowling

My job is neither management nor education
Just all the manual tasks that others do reject
It’s hardly reflected in my low remuneration
So my grumpiness is not that hard to detect

But truly and in secret, I become superman
I have higher degrees coming out of my ears
A champion in jumping over a lengthy span
But I prefer modesty to all the empty cheers

Now, with no more talents nor skills to hone
I am serene and reflective, satisfied and alone
