Question:

Do you like "My Day Job"...?

My day job

Mrs. Ash gets picked up at 6 AM
Old Bobber?? gets in at 6:10
Stop off at the clinic, Murphy at 6:15
Then the party begins

Unit 2 hits the road at 6:30
Four wheelchairs will pile in
Down the road goes us
Singing a chorus
Of ??O Danny Boy?? once again

Unit 3, dispatches he
Fills the airwaves
With riddles and rhymes
4,5 and 6, they all need to be fixed
And all day the cellular rings!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Are you an EMT or ambulance driver or just in medical transport? I liked the poem in general and appreciate the value of your work. Your rhythm gets a little bit off in places and the line in the center has problems with case, goes is not used as a transitive verb and us it would seem should be in the nominative rather than accusative, making it we. In some respects I like the shared "he" at the end of the first line of your last verse, but there are those who would find it confusing because it doesn't conform to the more usual word order pattern.
