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.”
