Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Cable Guy

The cable guy showed up at 5
And what was most surprising
Was not that he arrived on time
With no one compromising,

But rather that he did his job
And fixed what wasn’t working 
(Although I won’t be shocked
If other problems might be lurking).

So far, so good. With fingers crossed,
I’m watching my TV.
The cable guy was nice, but still
There is no guarantee.
