The Super

Posted on 02/06/202202/10/2022 by Jim Farrell

Well, he canned me, the guy he fired me.

                Says he,” Go up and get your time.”

Says he, “The way you’ve stood around

                You ain’t worth a lousy dime.”

An’ I got mad.  These Supers

                Always think they’re so damned smart.

I says, “Before you can a guy

                You got to wait for him to start.”

The Super says, “you made the point.

                I’ve seen you here three days…

You haven’t moved a muscle,

                You just stand there in a daze.”

“You get in here with me,” he says.

                So we climbed inside his rig

An’ he drove us to his office…

                He’s the Super, Mr. Big!

He says, “Write out this fellow’s time,”

                An’ the Clerk takes down my name.

He asks, “How long you been here?”

                I says, “Monday’s when I came.”

I didn’t tell him that I didn’t hire out,

                That I knew some fellers there

An’ was kind of looking ‘round the site

                While taking in the air.

He writes a check for three full days

An’ the Super signs his name.

If a feller wants to can me

                How in hell am I to blame?

So set us up another round,

                One to Super an’ his Clerk.

It’s the first I’ve had a payday

                An’ never went to work!
