Working, loving, staying - a Friday Writing poem
Working Man
I'm a working man
Making bucks where I can
Figure your tax
Mow your lawn clean your car
I'm a working man
Making bucks where I can
When my day is done
Then I'll shine just for you
I'm a loving man
Getting kisses where I can
Kisses on your cheek
Bolder as night goes on
I'm a loving man
Smooth my hair hug my neck
Kisses just for you
Hugs for you hug your back
I'm a staying man
Stay for you please return
Don't leave me alone
Together we'll do best
I'm a staying man
Day and night be around
I hope you'll be there please
Hold you tight you can't go
Working and staying
Bodies right loving pair

- I'm linked with Rommy at the Friday Writings #32,
- Rommy has "suggest(ed) taking a line from a song that moves you on some level and using that to inspire your words."
- My inspiration came from Bob Dylan's song, "Lay, lady, lay", especially the verse that says,
"His clothes are dirty, but his-
His hands are cleanAnd you're the best thing that he's
Ever seen"
Lay, lady, lay lyrics
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
In your mind
I'll show them to you
And you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile
Let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty, but his-
His hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's
Ever seen
His hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's
Ever seen
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile
Stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love?
When he's standing, in front of you
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love?
When he's standing, in front of you
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
Stay while the night is still ahead

"I'm a working man, loving man, staying man" I love this!
Yes sir, I can imagine this poem sung with music. Mr. Dylan would approve. :)
Just reading this makes me think you had so much fun writing it!!!
This is so sweet!
