    Poem Commentary

    Old house keeper at work.. is such a sweet heart... complains all the time but that ok..

    "this trash barrel is still on fire"

    "This trash barrel is still on fire"

     Pops’ says!

    77 year house keeper

    I asked him about his bruise on his lip

    "This trash barrel is still on fire"

    He says!

    Snow on the rooftop

    Chimneys smoking'

    Geriatrics is the best workers

    Hard dedicated

    They know the value of a hard days pay

    Cranky ole majority

    Sweet ole dude

    Says if it doesn't rhyme it’s not for Keim.

    Speaking of my poem I wrote about him.

    Ole well ha

    Haha, its hard to get a laugh out of me at 6:30 am, but you did it blu lol, I really liked this one. Reads as a dry sense of humour, I almost pictured Steven Wright telling this story which made it even funnier for me Haha. Thanks for the laugh. ~Spence

    A most decidedly different poem. No real flow, no real rhyme. But all the same it works and works well for you. I couldn't write like this even if I tried. I'm just too wordy I guess. To be honest, I'm not even sure I understand this but by the barnacle it sure sounds cool when read out loud!

    i like this we all have a certain way to express love so do your thing Marie

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
