by Scott N. Leavitt
I wanna be a roller man
And roll the road the best I can.
I’m tired of standing with my rake
And spreading out some truck’s mistake,
Or taking loaded wheelbarrow
And dumping where the road gets narrow.
Rollers break the asphalt down.
They make it hard and shape the crown.
And last there is the finish man,
Who wipes the marks as best he can.
I think he feels a kind of ZEN,
To roll alone for other men.
The world is rough and full of bumps.
I’d like to help smooth out the lumps,
Breakdown the clumps and flatten humps,
And finish with all troubles soothed.
The road of life all straight and smooth.
I wanna be the best I can.
I wanna be
God’s roller man.
BIG thanks to my editor!!!

Wanton Vixxxenalmost 19 years agoright into Literotica with a really smooth riding poem, Scott! It has an inspiration feel at the end that just adds more value to the verses before it. This was very unique and I hope we get to see more of your work in the near future. And... welcome to the poems' side of the Lit neighborhood! <smile>
