These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A New Work Week

It's time to start my work anew,
the daily tasking grind.
I eat a meal when I am through,
relax in time I find.

To clean and make the place pristine
is what I'm giv'n to do.
I sweep, and mop, and throughly clean,
a good job done for you.

So many bags of trash are tossed
because we eat and throw
containers we don't need. The cost
is such a waste, I trow.

So, guys like me, we serve the good
of our Society.
A lower rung, like Bert, we should
just "Step in Time," to free.

Now, when I start, I see the piles,
but I work by daily plan,
that when I leave I see the tiles.
They're shining, Cleaner Man!
