Wake up at five a.m.
and I hop in the shower
I have to really hurry up
even at this crazy hour.
My boss expects me in
by six thirty on the dot
so I can slave away for hours
over a coffee pot.
I know it sounds ridiculous
but this is my routine
every single Thursday
I'm at the Coffee Bean.

I bet that coffee helps you wake up though- nice simple rhyming poem. i like it a lot, it's tight enough to have a great rhythym, and the lines are all relitivly the same length. You also captured a very good idea of what Thursday ment to you- I like this. (now, is it true? just wondering...) Nice poem!
