Service Man's Diet

I eat a lot of eggs.
Every morning,
     if I can make it from the bed.
Eggs and milk and bread,
     that's my diet,
And I boil it down with coffee,
     A muddy fuel for me
          As I earn my day's wages
                holding hands,
Figuring out the role of service man,
      the human interface for the confused.
We plug up the gap,
      mend the fences,
          mind the door,
      little big men
          to help the Average Joe survive.

Then,
    when the day's work is done,
          we use our feet
               to carry us home.
