New Business

What's coming through his earbuds?
Not Cliff & The Shadows I'd guess.
I'd be content with Drive My Car
or another Beatles track Yes
It Is, the B-side of Ticket To Ride,
released in 1965. But I digress.

Whatever he's listening to at the end
of his hard day's night, I hope business
has been brisk and is getting better.
There's always the mess
to sweep up but let it be another good
day (sunshine, hungry day trippers) tomorrow.

Yes, I know, tomorrow never knows,
but I'm sure he'd willingly work
eight days a week
if he could, so god bless
his hard work and his optimism
- he deserves some success.
