THE TRUCK DRIVER, by EDITH HARRIET JONES First Line: He came out from the house Last Line: American. Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Trucks & Trucking; Work; Workers; Teamsters; Truckers; Freight | ||||||||
He came out from the house In clean blue overalls, To take his waiting truck -- Strong-limbed and virile, A catch of song upon his lip, Contentment on his brow. Noon lunch had gladdened him, Good food though plain, and respite brief With wife and little ones. He strode along erect and manly, Competence writ large, Laborer and citizen, American. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TEAMSTER by MATHILDE BLIND A TRUCKER BREAKS DOWN by DAVID BOTTOMS A TRUCKER DRIVES THROUGH HIS LOST YOUTH by DAVID BOTTOMS JOSEPH'S REFORM (A TALE OF THE HOT DOG TAVERN) by BERTON BRALEY MCCARTHY'S BREW: A GULF COUNTRY YARN by GEORGE ESSEX EVANS THE LIGHTS OF COBB AND CO. by HENRY HERTZBERG LAWSON FELLOWSHIP by EDITH HARRIET JONES |
