Working Poem by Alison Smith

Working

Rating: 5.0


Waking before the sun starts its day
So I can catch a train cant be a delay
Breakfast is a on the run
Maybe I’ll be losing weight, what fun

First in the door, turn on lights and computer
Now the kettle, a cuppa comes after.
Check all the emails that have come in over night
Nearly forgot to turn off divert, that’s right

Phone starts to ring
Cant hear the birds sing
Time flashes by
No time to cry

Day almost done
Now comes the fun
Got to go catch the train
Damm I think its started to rain.

Home again in the dark
This is no lark
Is this the only way
To get more time to play?

Alison, the things we have to do to get to do the thing we really want to do would make Cavia porcellus (guinea pigs) go crazy. Come to think of it, it's made me dizzy. But I guess we are all guinea pigs in this great experiment. Rgds, Ivan
