Saw part of a program the other day in which the host stated, employment is based on credit history… If that’s true, people like me better find a way to start their own business.

Work history up and down

routine yet to establish

after many trials and errors

found a system that worked

instead of listening

being pulled in all directions

took things as they came

but when push came to shove

was centered in a frame

while working

paid bills on time

had money to travel

days off were my own

then those who were constantly late

called me in from home

at first enjoyed the extra money

and paid what I could

but then no days off

yet no one understood

neither drank nor smoked

so breaks were catch as can

will find my niche in work

created by my hand
