Struggle No End

I wanted to work
I really did
Earning a living
Putting bread on table
I desired to work

I turned up for my new job
At lunch time
I got nervous
Eating two pieces of white bread
With butter and jam

The last straw
Was by the watercooler
They asked about my recent holiday
I freaked out
Sweating profusely
Embarrassed
I fled the building

I wanted to work
I really did
I tried and tried
Still failed the 7th time

Sitting on my porch
Pating my dog
She will be due soon
I desire to work
To feed her and her cute puppies
I really do
