QUOTE : Daily Bread by Stewart Stafford<br /><br />Butcher short-changed me again,<br />There’s sawdust in the sausages,<br />Grocer’s growing grosser and then,<br />A proposition with my messages.<br /><br />The driving instructor’s pissed on bends,<br />I went and told his mother,<br />The barman’s watering down pints for friends<br />Like he’s feeding his baby brother.<br /><br />The barber’s still one hair off,<br />One side doesn’t match the other,<br />Bookie won’t take my bets and lends,<br />The landlord another sucker.<br /><br />Tossed out in the street to fend for myself,<br />With all the other refuse,<br />Garbage man fills his truck with me,<br />At least I still have one use.<br /><br />© Stewart Stafford, 2021.
