Wilfredo Derequito Poet Narrative

In a Rut

Monday, toiling hard earning a poor man's pay.
Tuesday, doing my share running a lousy factory.
Wednesday, coping with an ass-boss the whole day.
Thursday, taking home a paycheck just worth a penny.
Friday, drowning my sorrows with strangers as company.
Saturday, no time for wifey, a bad hangover flattening me.
Sunday, yet a good boy at heart down on my knees to pray!

Like start a reading or writing club one evening a week. Well, not very exciting, but just an idea. You could collect pigeons : ) Do you have them there? I know, you could hold dancing lessons and teach people the samba! Just trying to help. Love, Shar
