Life's ups and downs

Big Bob worked the hoist
he was not very bright
but he was big and strong
and for simple tasks, alright.
For the first time in his life
(and probably the last)
he used his own initiatve
and so the die was cast
On the roof the bricklayers
had left some bricks behined
Bob decides to bring them down
(Oh life can be unkind)
His sick note says Respected Sir,
I tried to do my best
I had a bit of bad luck
as I think you may have guessed.
I hoists my barrel to the roof
and looped the rope on the hook
Up I climbs and filled it up
..........................................
Five minutes was all it took
When I got down and grabbed the rope
I am lifted off my feet! See
I had put too many bricks in and
.....................................................
the barrel was heavier than me
Half way up I meets
the barrel comming down
I can't let go the rope and
............................................
it clouts me on me crown
When the barrel hits the ground
It tips over a bit
A lot of bricks fall out and
.........................................
Now I am heavier than it
Half way down I meets
the barrel comming up
It takes a piece out of my leg
.............................................
the blood would fill a cup
When I hits the ground
I finds it hard to cope
The loop falls off my arm and now
...................................................
the barrel is heavier than the rope
Looking up I see
the barrel on it's way
my wits had gone, I could not move
...............................................
I will not be in today

Bob this is absolutely marvelous...how you can manage to put words together that not only rhyme, but are in time, and tell a story too! is beyond many a poet's view.
If this didn't really happen to you,
Then it would be hilarious,
but it's not nice to laugh at other peoples unfortunate episodes in life.
Your poem was an art, a craft in Strife!
I read it over and over, Bob, Great Write!

Dear Bob,
I enjoyed reading this and it is so very
well written . I can visualize the whole
scene. It is funny and sad at the same time.
Thanks for this,
Lynn
