Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

She Gets Off From Work At Five

She Gets Off From Work at Five

By Elton Camp

Quitting time is still three hours away
I wish she didn’t have that long to stay
The breakfast she fixed is now long gone
And my stomach begins to growl & groan

All day, I had nothing but chips and beer
So I sure wish she’d hurry up and get here
I don’t want you to think that I’m a grouch,
But it gets so tiresome laying on the couch

Besides, my wife is a slob, both lazy and mean
She don’t keep stuff fixed and the house clean
It’s hard for me to keep out the blowing rain
Cause she won’t fixed the broken window pane

But I guess I’ll let her get by doing this way
Especially on Friday since that’s our payday
I hear they are now hiring late shift at the mills
She should take a second job to pay the bills

But she is gonna have to leave time between
Until to the cooking of my dinner she has seen
Then she can go to the mill and work a while
But when she gets home, I expect to see a smile

I don’t want to hear no more of that tired stuff
And how at work she has had it oh so tough
When I am in the mood for a little romance,
I don’t want to hear excuses or no song & dance

Leo Larry Amadore June 14, 2011 at 7:56 AM Well written tongue-in-cheek indictment of lazy stay-at-homes who expect to be supported and coddled by hard working, abused mates....nice use of typical language heard from such slackers...I enjoyed this.
