Car Check

Some days when it is time for work, although still tired I do not shirk, but struggle to get out of bed while thoughts of sleep stay in my head. My workplace is a large marquee that’s put in place by only me, it’s big enough to fit a car but cumbersome as marquees are. I fix this unit to my van, a place where all the drivers can be reassured their cars are fine or shown the faults to fix this time. Even when their news is bad for my report they're really glad, they really are the nicest folk and through the day we laugh and joke. At end of day when all are done it’s not the last of all my fun, you sometimes then may see me frown for I have to strip the marquee down. I’ll then drive home my job’s complete, you know this day is quite a feat, it’s not bad when it’s dry and warm but hard when in a gale or storm. I’m not complaining, fort you see my customers rely on me but driving home at end of day I know I really earned my pay. I’m not a youngster anymore to spend my days down on the floor but even though I’m getting old I give the service they were sold. I like my job and always will but nowadays find it all uphill so if you chance to see me yawn, remember please when I was born! Ivor G Davies
