Alpha Males And Safety. Poem by Danny Draper
Alpha Males And Safety.
Are you deaf mate? Why?
Because there's a sign there,
Can't you read?
Don't worry! It's my job!
Everyone that comes along here
For whatever reason
Good reasons, safety for one!
Has to follow the rules.
It's the law that's why!
Joking aren't you, you'll be ok?
'K, you a superhero or what?
Look mate, gotta go!
Man some people are from a diff'rent planet!
Now here's another one,
Oi! What are you doing? Get out of there!
Please can these people just listen?
Quittin' time, can't come soon enough,
Right see ya mate, yeah! Drive safe!
See you to t'morrow!
Thursday, yeah that's right!
Usually works Wednesday, swapped.
Vowed never to work weekends,
Weekdays long enough... For sure!
'X'llent money, but too much tax.
You're better off relaxing, sleeping in
Zzzzzzzs til at least 9. See ya.

I like the 'are you deaf mate' and 'can't you read' This never fails to annoy as the person saying 'are you deaf mate' is so ignorant and plainly illiterate but doesn't know it, yet is laying down some man made rule without so much as the courtesy to inquire politely whether the person has had time to read the sign. It's a poem that's very true to life, showing up all the unfairness's in there multi coloured rainbow. Well penned.
This is so cleverly put and takes one on memory journeys.... initially i thought youd had a bad day rowing with someone which added to me a little bit of humour and anx combined.... glad for your footnotes and the title is as ever a great play on words... bravo dear poet.... thanks karen
Admirable! A well penned and thought provoking write that clearly shows your talent and writing skills! 10+++ Thank you for sharing and keep it up! God Bless You! Romeo-New York City
