Seeking income, running down.
Meeting challenge with no frown
Hiding us within your fur.
We sit back without a stir.
…
You fought hard for all of us.
Your right hand, especially.
I tried hard to measure up.
Comes with stuff, as Dennis says.
…
We’ve been through a lot these years.
All that’s happened testing tears.
Putting our shoulder even to
Jobs got done, and people, too.
…
Never thought that I’d give out
Before the day that you gave up.
Let them drag the whole concept
Into the ground on which they slept.
…
Times are hard under this toad.
Old things stay around until
The new things come and they are told
Eat what you can, when you can,
Solid gold.
…
Money flows back in spades.
We don’t see it, but we just
Keep on giving, how we’re raised.
Heaping coals upon their heads.
