Janie
Bella is a waitress.
She’s
always on her feet.
Lift
heavy trays, small tips, guys’ hits –
at
quitting time she’s beat.
It’s hard to be a woman alone
Dragging along a stone
Shop
for groceries going home.
His
only welcome a grunt.
No
dinner cooked or faucet fixed.
She’s
tired of accepting the brunt.
It’s hard to be a woman alone
Putting up with a stone
The
trash not emptied, harsh words yelled.
Fix
dinner, clean the place,
run
the washer, help with homework,
to
bed a frazzled case.
It’s hard to be a woman alone
Dragging along a stone
Alarm
at five, quick shower, coffee.
Repeat
the day again.
No
respite from the constant grind,
Gets
no respect, plain Jane.
She’s proud to be a woman alone
She does not need this stone
