The Lay-Off: A Poem

March 4, 2009, 12:11AM

I've been here so long
and I work hard
Why me?

I have a newborn child
I don't know how I'm going to feed her
Why me?

I gave this place everything
and I have all this knowledge
Why me?

I just started but I had such high hopes
Why me?

Why me?

The economy
Oh

Well

Yes, it sure is hell

But so is going home to my wife
tonight
and letting her know
'Oh, I've been let go'

You hope it all will turn out right
Oh

Gee, thanks
It's been nice

We'll keep in touch
I'll be alright
I get to sleep late
for a while

It was nothing personal
and I won't take it wrong
but I wish I didn't have to take it
at all

Bio

There she is, my little one, So quick to be hurt, so quick to grin, Timid, afraid, holding out her hand, Yet many a heart she will always win. Playing, reading, talking to her dolls, Then time for cuddling, time for a kiss. She whispers, “I love you” in my ear, There she goes, my sweet little miss. Blond hair tied up in pert little bows, Skin so soft and smooth like a dove. One minute a tear, next a smile, That’s my child, my littlest love. - Mum
