Magpie Tales Poetry Prompt.

Here is my poem written for the poetry prompt at Magpie Tales. You can see other posts like this at http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

This is the manna of The People.
With caliced, work worn hands
They sit down to eggs and toast,
And maybe a glass of sweet tea,
With sassafrass
If the factory paid well last week.
Their eyes are redshot from hours of overtime,
And nightly calculations on how to get by
On a paycheck that never has enough
Numbers.
How do you get by
On a paycheck that never has enough
Numbers?
You eat eggs and toast,
With a glass of sweet tea,
With sassafrass
If the factory paid well last week.
