Best Worker Poems

To seek a twist that turns a soul, toward two open hands,
A street wise urchin scours the lanes, where likewise understands,
And so the circle quickly spins, back to the gutter place,
Where there’s no need of feeling, or chance of saving face.

This wandering a dreary trail,...

I used to be a worker bee,
And as far as I could ever see,
Would never have the sunshine time,
To sing a song, to pen a rhyme.

I longed so for a day I would be free,
To paint a picture, to watch TV,
That day came with new...

We walked to the sand dunes
She whipped off her top 
We made love in the sand 
A co - worker and lover 
Gone from the Earth now 
She taught writing alongside me 
at a community college 
She came to my home and we 
made love...

Night Shift Worker


At sunset is the beginning of our day
Darkness embraces our peevish spirit
Flashing neon signs bring us in esprit
We are mindful of making a living

Danger awaits us anytime
But this is where my feet are destined to go
Where the crime took place, I need to...

Caught in the hidden trap of normality
Where the weird little freak inside can never be free
Are we really any better in this society?
With every unusual act we judge the worker bee
For daring to be different instead of the same
Wishing to be free of this copycat...

His hand reached out to mine, open, 
Holding it, I smiled, our eyes danced with understanding, 
Form and blush outlined his expectations, 
But I could see that there may be fear inside. 

Mary restated their predicament, 
That the child was born out with the marriage...

Net working hard,
Even to the UNO,ILO and HR organizations,
Twenty four hours a day,
All the seven days,
All holidays,
No quota of leave,
Unpaid,
Free,
A genuine social worker!...

Miracle Worker
by Rick Rucker

That, from a ugly lump of clay,
You have moulded me today!

That, in what seems like a minute,
You have saved what others would say "Bin it!"

You have saved a wretch like me,
Healed my Heart, set me Free!

We were walking on the sand,
And you...

I used to complain about having to work at night on weekends.
Everyone was having fun but li'l ol' me.
Some years back I had an epiphany on the matter.
Suddenly, I had time to cash my check AND pay my bills!
Then, I might possibly catch a movie,...

Construction worker Fred, never snotty
Boastful, self-righteous, or slightly haughty
   They laid him to rest
   Midst tribute the best
Gold-plated, silver-edged Porta-Potty...

Have you ever seen an abandoned child,
cold and hungry, deluded and exiled.
That’s why God made the Social Worker

How about a mother who made a bad decision,
then needed guidance, and a brand new vision.
That’s why God made the Social Worker

Imagine being old, helpless and all alone,
then...
