reading and commenting on each other's stories.

THE JOB
This is what it comes down to
Covered in green top to toe
The only job in town
It’s better than being a clown
My own kids laughed out loud
Took pictures to upload to the cloud
I took pride in my look
It was alright in my book
To respect the past
Because it doesn’t last
The once magnificent beasts
Roamed the world at least
From fossils that remain
By the mountains and on the plains
We discovered their existence
Now we mourn their absence
My wages at the end of the week
Make up for looking like a freak.

LOL! She had to dress like a dinosaur! Hahaha! Cute story-poem!
ReplyDeleteI think if the pay was good, I would consider such a job unless it was outside in the middle of summer. Nice poem!
ReplyDeleteBetty

I know someone who is a costumed character at Disney World, and that sounds like a really fun job. But being a dinosaur seems rather cumbersome.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who could do a job in a costume has my respect. Beautiful job of capturing the story in a poem!
ReplyDeleteThose foam costumes get hot in the summer, too...
ReplyDeleteNice work.
