Working as a trashman <br />In a ritzy neighborhood <br />Just had some wine <br />I'm feeling fine <br />The day is running good <br />I can bust my ass <br />On a rich man's trash <br />But it's only for a while <br />When my work is done <br />I'll have my fun <br />So there's no need not to smile <br /> <br />There's great rewards for me each day <br />While working in the streets <br />From the pride I take <br />In working hard <br />And the people that I meet <br />I don't know much about other jobs <br />This is what I do <br />But when my work is done <br />I'll have my fun <br />Can I say the same for you <br /> <br />When my work is done <br />I'll have my fun <br />I'll say it once again <br />Cause I ain't dead yet <br />And I don't regret <br />All the places that I've been <br />There's a million ways <br />That a man can pay <br />For the meat his family eats <br />So while I can <br />Be a working man <br />I'm a trash man in the streets<br /><br />Mike Kosman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-my-work-is-done/
