The 99 Poem Challenge
Fox-Trot-924. Choka — Paper Brigade Creed
Deliver the news
Every day six days a week,
From five until six,
And always be here on time;
Deliver the news
Through wind and heat and showers,
Through spring and autumn's
Sudden change in temperature;
Deliver the news
Through traffic and barking dogs,
Through bullies and pranks,
Through everything come what may.
Be ready to ride,
For we are the messengers
Of hope, the paper brigade.(To be continued...)
