The wake up call!
With angelic bird song, we wake
And rise like the sun for a new day
Wash away sleep
Like the tide clears old sand
Quick sip of coffee
To waken the tongue
Glance in the mirror
‘Hope this day’s fun?’
Peck on the cheek
Of the loved one who slumbers?
Switch on the phone
Full of hope giving numbers
Head off to work
Road seems more quiet
Where’s all the crazy’s
Who bring us road riot?
Car parks near empty
Office doors locked
Is there something you missed?
Or has your mind forgot?
You sit for a while
And turn on the news
Radio plays music?
For you to amuse
The DJ is different?
Its not the same voice.
He talks of sport fixtures?
Your brain brings rejoice
Its Saturday sports news
You’ve been had by your work
Too many hours
Have made you look a jerk
You switch on the engine
Head home like a fool
Laughing and smiling
Trying hard to stay cool
Your better half chuckles
As you climb back in bed
Your pillow still dented
With the shape of your head
Dreamland is calling
Can you step back in time?
Retrace your footsteps
Sadly no, that’s a crime
It happens I tell you
I know from the past
But you put it behind you
A shadow to cast
But the message is simple
To those who have done
Remember this people
You’re not the only one.

Yeah, you are so right, Silent Cougar. I had to laugh so much when i read this. It happened to me years ago. Unfortunately, where i work, people do work saturdays and i looked like an idiot when i rolled up because my team does not. This was excellent and i love this simple rhyme that keeps you going without faulter. As i read these poems, i see the different style you have adapted today. Both great styles and you have a good grasp on them both. Well done.
