Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Pretending I Work All Day

It is embarrassing to try and pretend I am working all day
Earning the big bucks, I get paid
When my husband gets online and reads the poems I write
 
While the powers that be are paying me
While I probably should be doing something else
While I am earning money, I may not deserve
 
I have stopped bragging about how much work I do
Because of the online “outing” I get daily
And his ability to clearly see
what I do at my job

L Milton Hankins September 11, 2021 at 9:54 AM Caren, I don't really thing anyone understands exactly what counselors do, unless they are a counselor. Actually, you are the catalyst that keeps some teachers and some students functional. Now...what does that mean? Have you thought about passwording your computer? Go, Joe, go!
