Poetry & Prose - "Payroll"

The last time I checked

            I made a great discovery.

If you give it some thought

            it may not be such a mystery.

Alas, the outcome was

            such a pleasant surprise,

I’ve been telling my friends

            just to get a rise.

My current non-existent, 
            non-benefit payroll

            consists of the following
            alphabetized lineup:

            Anna the Administrator

            Audrey the Author

            Beatrice the Baker

            Bobbie the Bookkeeper

            Constance the Cook

            Hannah the Housekeeper

            Inez the Ironess

            Linda the Laundress  

               Quaylene the QuickBooker

            Suzannah the Secretary

            Tonya the Taxi Driver

            Yvette theYard Worker

Each of the aforementioned

            is so efficient and kind,

If they stay on schedule

            I’m never left in a bind.

Live your life on the lighter side

            and write out your list today.

You’ll make some great progress

            even if it’s without pay!
