Domingo

My husband likes conversing

With most anyone he meets,

Including taxi drivers or

The ones in Uber fleets.

 

Domingo was our Uber guy

And on the ride, we shared

Some talk of life and grandkids,

But I doubt he was prepared

 

When a question was presented

Asking him to think and rate,

On a scale of 1 – 10,

Just how happy was his state.

 

At first he didn’t get it

Then he smiled and said most days

His number would be 8 and next,

He listed all the ways.

 

He and his family have their health,

He has a home and work

And seeing others suffer,

He knows dangers that might lurk.

 

So all in all, his life’s okay

And he feels satisfied,

A pleasant conversation

For our Wednesday Uber ride.
