Bar Schedule

A Poem by J. F. Charleston

Time ticks down the clock

to the next whistle blow

when I can leave this field of stock

and begin my regular job

I've got a bar schedule

I gotta get goin', showin'

Runnin' faster than the bull

just to start my bar schedule

Monday night it's all on the table

place a bet, throw them cards

smack the table, buy another round

Tuesday, teachin' folks to sway

maybe a few line dances

and of course a bit o two steppin'

maybe even work on some stances

What about my day job, day job?

It's only a hay job, hay job

I've got a bar schedule

I gotta get goin', showin'

Runnin' faster than the bull

just to start my bar schedule

Wednesday and Thursday, Thursday

it's all about them drinkin games

to drown down some old flames

straight whiskey the whole way

Friday are them live shows, live shows

rockin and rollin anyway it goes

off the stage, on the floor

with a girl I'm headed out the door

What about my day job, day job?

It's only a hay job, hay job

I swear if you don't shut up, Bob

Saturday, fun play, fun day

swingin on the ol hard wood

Get some numbers if I could

only to lead them astray

Sunday is the day for the Lord

tell some folks an old fable

with a guitar hooked to a cable

makin them bored as hell

I've got a bar schedule

I gotta get goin', showin'

Runnin' faster than the bull

just to start my bar schedule

Bar schedule

Bob, we need to take this outside?

It's about them laws we abide.

Oh, dear Lord...

I had a bar schedule once. Life was easily then.
"I've got a bar schedule
I gotta get goin', showin'
Runnin' faster than the bull
just to start my bar schedule"
Now all I do is work and work. I need to add a bar schedule. Thank you my friend for sharing the fun poetry to be read.
