Labor, Valued...... Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage
Labor, Valued......
Why the hell you charge fifty bucks
for a King-coconut, you just plucked
off a palm which thrived of its own...?
A nasty nag on a wayside vendor
Wow! What a satisfying meal
a tasty pizza for just six hundred bucks
Well prepared and temptingly served....
Tipped the waiter with fifty bucks
