Rich I Am

In honor of the new "improved" 4 day work week and having to drag my ass to work by 7 am I composed a poem, I hope you like.



It's 6 am and time to wake,
get ready for work, with haste I should make.
Stumble out of bed and into the shower,
pause at the mirror a moment to glower.
Water turned on and naked I get,
shower curtain closed and suddenly I'm wet.

I do not feel happy as a clam,
I do not like this 6 am
I do not like it Rich I am.



Out of the shower my teeth I do brush,
the Wife is still sleeping, try to keep it hush hush.
Deodorant and gel, tousled hair is a mess,
off to the closet for now I get dressed.

Frankly Scarlett I don't give a damn,
I do not like this 6 am,
I do not like it Rich I am.



Iron my clothes and button my pants,
I look at my pillow and think, no I can't.
Just a few more minutes is all it would take,
but it is of no use, I'm already awake.

I am a very tired man,
I do not like this 6 am
I do not like it Rich I am.



Garage door opens and car door slams,
it's off to the office without my green eggs and ham.
No coffee, no caffeine not even a drop,
speeding onto the freeway watch out there's a cop.


I should have had some toast with jam,
I do not like this 6 am
I do not like it Rich I am.



It's ok I've made it and it's only day two,
the halls are all vacant, now what should I do?
7 am and not even a peep,
I'm like a Shepard without any sheep.


A baby sheep is called a lamb,
My workers do not like this 7 am
They do not like it Rich I am.



Alas I will blog, there's a thing I enjoy,
like a slinky on Christmas, fun for girl or for boy.
Coffee now brewed and it's starting to kick in,
don't tell my mom she may think it's a sin!


Caffeine is measured in milligrams,
I do not like this 7 am
I do not like it Rich I am.



Only 9 and a half more long hours to work,
under my breath there's a mutter, the Guv is a jerk!
Sure on Friday my tune it may change,
but come Monday morning it will all be the same.


I think this schedule is a sham
I do not like this 6 am
I do not like it Rich I am.
