Cheers For the Janitor

As corporate cogs go home for the day Offices empty, regaining their still. Serene and reflective, sweeping away Janitor’s magic unfolds, if you will. His footfalls echo as the dusk falls fast, Away from the noise, he’s working the night. Crucial starry role in a one man cast Sheds sparkle and shine by the morning light. Wonder if he hums a familiar tune, Grooving around comfy company chairs, Close companions - the kettle and the moon - True confidantes of his midnight affairs. Though one man cast stays behind the curtain, His spic and span act shows clean and certain.

This is one of those thankless jobs that we never even think about except when we arrive in the morning and the trash cans haven't been emptied. Nicely written Maggie, it's good to see you on PS again. Hugs, Johnny

I agree, I did odd jobs like driving pizza, cleaning senior homes, home tutoring… just didn’t become a celebrity:)
