The Shifters

By Tryphena Louise Williams (c) 2010

Come on Mister Shifters, can we hurry things along
We've been bringing, you all these boxes
Why is it taking you so long?

The weather's looking, overcast
We all hoped the rain, would pass

At last the truck, is tightly packed
With each item, securely stacked

The doors were closed, now we're on our way
Across country in convoy, we all tried to stay

We arrived at last, at our destiny
Ever so wary, and so glad to be

It took us another, hour or two
To unload the boxes, we each carried a few

The trucks unloaded, it was time for tea
We feed the shifters, and paid, what we'd agreed

We headed inside, to look around
Boxes stacked high, they filled the lounge

We looked at each other, with a tired smile
The shift we agreed, had sure taken awhile
