Notes About The Poem

The Cable Guy

I’m waiting for the elusive cable guy.
His window is 1-5… I wonder when he will finally drop by.
I don’t know if he is worth makeup and frills,
But who knows, maybe it will help my bill.

The last time he came there was no charge.
I hope he doesn’t make up for it with a fee that is large.
Come on cable guy, it’s been 2 hours…only 2 more to go.
The afternoon is shot, you are so slow!

Well he finally made it, and it didn’t cost me a dime!
The makeup and hair was worth my time!
I won’t complain about the cable guy anymore,
He fixed it for free,  what more can you ask for!
