The Paperboy
February 23, 2016
Across the sea
Above the grass
I set out to do my task
I’m a paper boy
In the city
In the field
I have to go no matter how I feel
When it’s raining or snowing
Windy and blowing
There I am throwing papers off my bike
Not a job I particularly like
It pays enough so I can go out
The movies, ice cream, candy store
All the things I truly adore
So I’ll keep doing it for now
Sweating on the sunny days, water dripping from my brow
It won’t last forever
Will I take it for granted?
Never!

My father told me about his days as a paperboy, and that is what brought on this poem.
