A Black Toppers Shift
As we work in the searing heat
The high tarmac temperature is melting our feet
You’re forehead is dripping with large beads of sweat
You're here for your nine hours,the tonnage will be met
Face is getting redder,as the heat rises up
Gives impressions of blood pressure,your face has that look
How much more,can one man take
Can’t wait for the weekend,you need a bloody break
Till then,it feels like you’re working,as the day is long
You’re longing for knock off and your long journey home
To be greeted by your family, as you walk through the door
To provide for these lovelies,is what you work for
For nice trips out and holidays in the sun
We work hard for our wonga,we love having fun
It’s not too bad money,we’re good at what we do
We are the boys on the black stuff,we are the been there and done that crew

I thought I’d write a poem about the unsung heroes of the roads,like me and the guys I work with and of the hot conditions we usually work in
Hello Dene...
I often wondered why after so many years they haven't provide cooling for you guys to wear...
You got the job, you applied...
Congra
I also why after all these years they haven't designed something better that needs not so much repair...
People pay for roads it's called tax payers or private...
It sucks when it seems like when we have to get somewhere there's so much road work under construction, then we add the accidents and the slow downs which add to the fuel costs...
No road work= No paycheck...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...
