Not His Time

I am young but I have grown up
some, and with a new job set up
now, plus home and car all got up
here, thanks to how I was brought up.

Interviewed with the higher-up
then, the foreman and I met up
and, got things before I start up,
turned, the crew gave me a thumbs up.

The work, like my past jobs, speed-up
so I had no time to warm up
cause, 'twas busy now we're caught up
in time for lunch, we all eat up.

'Twas a great first day as we wind up,
... byes and smiles that just lift me up.

Ink Empress December 8, 2023 at 4:50 AM Brilliant, you did this monorhyme in such a creative manner. Im sure it wouldnt have been easy coming up with lines that would end with “ up” but you’ve done it effortlessly with such deeply moving thoughts articulated in such eloquence. Pleasure reading this. As always. A brilliant write. If this is for the contest. Im sure will do very well. William Kelii Kekaula December 8, 2023 at 5:29 AM Started as a duo-up, then three-syllables made it a soloist-up. Sponsor's rules change more than NFL Raiders change cities--can't keep up with 'um, 'Mirror's Cracked', thanks naytheless. Aloha, William

Its change after change, yet the evil that Remains, there is good but that seems harder To action among us.' A good write on more Manageble times though.'
