Oh, what a day

Yo, you wake up, buzzes alarm

Lo, I ponder for an hour in bathroom

Brilliant ideas arise wroom, wroom

Breakfast? Wish I could polish off my cereal and milk

Be fast, no time to linger longer, I sulk

 

I run to catch the train

It is late as usual again, what a pain

Oodles of people, o boy they are smelly

On bikes and skates they scatter Willy nelly

In cages they carry dogs and cats too

Din it will be if they poo!

Finally am in office, have to use loo.

 

Aah, in my cubicle

am in time, not short of a miracle!

I Login to my account

How many times? I have no count

Again I have to change my password

Just memorized the old one, hey I am no nerd

 

I check the emails, nothing important,

That is not so weird

Push them to deleted or archived

Boy I am already tired.

Got to get some coffee

Gee, is it coffee? Mocha? Frappe? Green tea

Go for whatever you fancy, it’s all free

Hey Look, Jane brought cookies,

Gaily we stand around and chat about hockey,

Weekend movie or the race’s jockey

Nibbling cookie, nothing is ever troubling.

 

Now, time to go to meeting, all are waiting

Just to agree up on the date for next meeting

And to chat about the politics or the world in general

Nothing ever critical, all trivial

Someone showing a pie chart,

Using PowerPoint with a dart

I hear my boss snore

Sure he is not alone, cause it is a bore

 

Meeting over, now it is the lunch break

Over to cheap food cart so that I am not broke

I Order a deep dish pizza with sour sauce for dipping

Then I go to town piazza for window shopping

 

Soon after lunch again I login

So that I am not caught nappin

Google and yahoo I browse, damn all have the same news

I ogle for fresh political views

Now I am yawning wide

Need some more tea before my ride

On that damned crowded train

So, off to the break room again

 

Someone calls me back saying a ‘bug’

“No, not a bug, it is a new feature, you may ignore, it is no big”

Bemoan I, end of my second meeting and the day’s gig

 

Time to go home, I run to the train yet again

Fie I see the same bicyclists, cursing I cannot refrain

“Am home, I am tired,” I state

“Slam and shut the damn door” I enunciate

Watching TV, a sitcom or fortune wheel

While supping on some thawed freezer meal

Switch off the light, on to the bed I hop

Set alarm to go off at six in the morning sharp.

This poem is dedicated to my dearest hubby who responds to my constant complaining and nagging with “Rest for a while honey”, “Why don’t you take break”, “ I will fetch you your water” etc etc instead of using my choice of words like “suck it up”, “go to hell” “why don’t you quit” etc.etc. when he does the same.
