Excellent Their role keeps industry going. Errand Boy by Barry Penfold Artwork by VMarguarite at FanArtReview.com

Without him~ the wheels of industry would stop Without him~ the closing of the shop Without his wheels ~his tireless vim The frame~ the chain~ the whirring rim The ceaseless turn of pedal crank The moistened brow~ the hair blown lank Through wind and rain~ all year through Delivering is his daily due The piercing whistle~ cheery grin The ever faithful~ Gunga Din The world will be a sadder place When he disappears from face But we who have known~ still enjoy The memories of the Errand Boy. Recognized Author Notes The poem reflects my own experiences when a boy. I delivered medicines to the elderly and sick in my community. A bit of pocket money as well.
