POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Just being silly one day at work. I worked at Lowes and it was almost Christmas and I thought about the song The Twelve Days of Christmas and then the first line came to me about... my employer gave to me, a paycheck without an increase... and then the rest of the days came about. Big thanks to Lowes for an inspirational moment and all the paychecks without an increase, lol.
