Haulin’ a Heavy Load

Hi folks, how ya doin’?

I’m Jack

I drive a big rig

Haulin’ a trailer with a Mack

I haul gravel, sand or dirt

But today I’ve a strange load

This guy with a ton of words

Asked me to haul it down the road

What he plans on doing

I can’t imagine his aim

Perhaps a massive version

Of a Scrabble board game

I wonder if

He’s writing a book

Hey, he could be Steven King

Although he didn’t have that look

I don’t know

Maybe he’s a poet

Come out of pandemic hiding

Hell bent to show it

But whatever the case

I’ll haul it there

Causing strange looks

When I dump it, people will stare

Anyway, he’s paying for it

So down the road I go

Shifting up through the gears

Haulin’ a heavy load
