Today
Half a bacon cheeseburger
Half a plate of fries
Pickles, mayonnaise, tomato
Lying on the side
Served with sorrowful glances
At the clock upon the wall
Snatch an hour of freedom
From a day stressed with surprise
Amidst a program budget
Shrunk a size too small
To cover all the pieces
That I really need to do
Technology’s a pain
It's steadily getting worse
Make it all secure
So a stranger can’t invade
O darn they went and broke it
So now no one’s satisfied
There’s employee tribulations
That I really did not want
Brimful of live emotions
She’s quivering alone.
Now I need to go there
Try to smooth it out.
Oh the relaxation
Massaging the stress
To find myself a quiet place
And eat my lunch in silence
Guinness in a bottle
And some cheese that’s in a whizz
Oh no its almost over
Tic toc I’ve got to go
It’s been quite a morning
Hope the afternoon is better
Cos I want to stay, I want to go
I want to run away and hide
Driving back to questions
I can’t answer in my head
Are there any answers?
I’m not sure I want to know
I think I quite enjoyed the break
But I just wanted to be…..what…..?
