    Poem Commentary

    I am a retired school teacher. I coached Basketball and baseball.
    One of my graduating students made millions of dollars and helped me build a 3 million dollar field. He hired me to take care of it for as long as I want.

    My Work

     Retired from teaching
    I'm a groundskeeper now
    i gave up the books
    for a tractor and plow
    I work cutting grass and and mulching the dirt
    The work is back breaking and sometimes I hurt 
    But It is all worth it, it's rewarding though hard
    A unique baseball field they call it my yard
    To be continued when I start my next occupation

    A great story of finding one's niche in life after departing one's niche in life.

    Hampton: You are so right. I love to work outdoors and be my own boss. I',m off in the winter and relax and watch it snow. Thank you for your comment. I enjoy your poems and classic stories.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
