New
Venture!
You made me redundant and feeling quite annoyed
Taking me away from the work I do enjoy.
Then a thought run through me – a feeling of pure
joy –
Why not stay just the same and work as self
employed?
In a moment it occurred to me, I shouldn’t be so
cross,
Instead of being angry – I could be my boss!
Now I’m free, it’s up to me but very much alone
No rota to follow, long hours to swallow, completely
on my own!
I don’t intend to work weekends after seven years,
Instead there will be paperwork coming from my
ears!
No dark evenings or time I was leaving, just early
cosy nights,
A warm log fire, family time, the job loss now
feels right.
At fifty seven, it’s good to finish mornings at
just gone eleven!
No starting work so early, feels like I have gone
to heaven!
I’ll please myself; gauge my times, feels good to
pick and choose.
The choice is right, the clients’ nice, there’s
nothing I can lose!
And that reference a lady kindly wrote helped me on
my way
As prospective clients have read all of which you
had to say.
All the training, very draining; from now on I’ll
be refraining!
Whatever experience comes my way, I’ll look forward
to gaining.
My filing cabinet sorted out, now under lock and
key;
Would rather be out and about keeping someone
company!
All this filing, typing, time consuming, letters to
addressee;
The keeping up to date with admin which isn’t
really me!
Now this is new territory, invoices, paperwork all
necessary,
With details, report to HMRC: get friendlier with
Excel on P.C...
I’d rather spend that time with people, help out or
just a natter
And for now, working for agencies just doesn’t seem
to matter!
A pleasure to help, be there for you and do my best
to care,
And when life’s unfair, do the many jobs that you
cannot bear.
Depending on how you feel, it’s no big deal to cook
you a meal
Or keep you company, over a coffee when there’s
time to steal.
And it’s your grateful smile, your thanks that goes
a mile –
The reason why I visit you makes it all worthwhile!
As some other companies rush with no time to spare
from A to B
It’s good to spend quality time with you, I’m sure
you will agree!
