My Job?
Its a guessing game
for you to name
what it is I did do
from a clue or two
but its been such a long time
to try and remember duties that rhyme!
Ah, there's a clue: "duties" as in plural
but not outside, nothing rural.
Yes, there were machines involved ...
Oh no, have you already solved?
Well, I had to smile and listen a lot
both useful skills in order to not
mess up that job that kept me so busy
it often found me in a tizzy!
Did it fulfill any great need?
Well not really, only my greed
which sometimes seemed heart-stopping
especially when out shopping!
But at the end of the work day
I could always say
goodnight to all and then, run
to go and have some fun.
