A Good Employee

Always of value.

A Good Employee

The moon has kept his promise.

Always on time,

there hail, rain or shine.

He rises to the task

of holding the cloak of sky

upon his back.

There to relieve the sun

of his days shift

and provide the night light

for humankind,

so that they can sleep

safe and sound in their beds.

I would like to promote him,

I really would,

but currently

there are no openings.

Thank you Lydi.

Adorable! Thank you for the warmth of humor...the moon can be cold, but apparently not in your talented hands. I leave with another perspective.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Roxie. I just visited your page to read some of your writing and nothing is posted?

Top notch writing here John. I saw the title and was very intrigued and it certainly was a new take for me on the poet's favourite. I loved it.
Super inventive.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Why thank you Anto. It just occurred to me that the sun gets most of our plaudits, other than in poetry and he needed some encouragement lol.

~ A fine view of the moon's importance. He is the night watchman of the skies. ~

Thank you, just a piece on the rise.

Great write, John about a wonderful employee... I guess for now you'll simply have to increase his benefits...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

If only I could FT, if only I could but I have to treat all employees as equal. No incentive scheme here lol. Many thanks.

haha, well-done... perhaps the next piece should be about the good CEO!
