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…..?
