Caretaker
by Sam M. Phillips

I advise you,
Direct your words,
I recommend it,
Position merely a favour,
Aware of public responsibility.

Belief in mistake,
More on my side,
Talking after all,
The caretaker.

Takes a lot of thinking about,
The council,
Throw a request,
They are mean,
Cause you serious misgivings,
Something is forced,
Allowed to be taken on.

Curious,
I can’t see any use,
Salary,
Sorry,
Trouble,
Sight constantly before you,
Write together,
Terrible assistant.

What keeps you?
The door is closed,
No more talking to me now,
You’ll be around again tomorrow,
I hand you a farewell,
Open it,
Very content.
