Midnight State Of Mind Poem by Linda Ori

Midnight State Of Mind



Six a.m...... the alarm is beepin'
Hit the snooze and keep on sleepin'
Crazy dream...... want to go on keepin'
That midnight state of mind;

Another workday, and I'm not ready
To hit the grind and keep goin' steady
Colleagues kickin' over somethin' petty -
Want my midnight state of mind;

Tryin' to work but my mind's not in it,
Wantin' my way but I just can't win it,
Just can't tolerate one more minute -
Without my midnight state of mind;

Clock out time and I'm out the door
Gotta run over to the grocery store
Pick up some chips and a six-pack o' Coors -
Come on midnight state of mind!

Hit the den and log online
Check my e-mail while tryin' to dine
Back on PH and the world is fine -
I'm in my midnight state of mind.

This is brilliant Linda. Move over Billy Joel. I hope you have a tune for this! ! This is a state that we can all relate to very easily on the PH show. Doncha just hate it when that alarm goes off and you've got to go! ! Very atmospheric rendering of that state of mind! ! Excellent. jim xx
