Useful Things Aboard a Delivery Truck on New Year’s Day

 

A new clothes-dryer for our little house

“MADE IN AMERICA” – but is it really?

By hand to the hydraulic lift, and down

And by dolly trolley into the laundry

 

It made its journey with someone’s new washer

A refrigerator, and a cast-iron cooker

Useful things delivered by working men

Wrestling trucks and freight for the common good

 

When their day’s work is done I hope that they

Can relax

 

(around a cooker, with a cold one in hand)

 

                        and say, “This was a good day.”
