BRIAN & ANGELA

ANOTHER BLUE DAY AT THE OFFICE ! A Blank Verse Sonnet

 

 

WHY  are we scared of the Night ?

PERHAPS  because we can\'t sleep

BECAUSE  the pressures of the Day 

ARE  still with us !  We long to rise

REFRESHED  in the New Day ~ with all

OUR  problems Solved ~ Sorted ~ Settled

 

BUT ~ when the Morning dawns ~ We rise

REFRESHED  ready to face a New Day !

BUT ~ The same brooding Brood ~ round the

BREAKFAST TABLE ~ The same stressful

DRIVE  to Work ~ Same Colleagues ~ ready     

TO MAKE  your Day ~ less enjoyable !

 

PICTURE  of the Average Working Man

NOW HAS TO WORK \'TIL SEVENTY !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ JOY to ALL ~ BRIAN

 

Let me reassure you that this is not my fate !  Most days

I eat my \"soft boiled egg\" alone and talk to my tropical

fish ~ and TANGS always smile back !  I can walk or cycle

to work (20 minutes) and my colleagues support me 100%

and I them !  I\'m far too Young to even think about retiring

~ I teach in a 16+ College.  I do also appreciate that most

Ladies have to work as well ~ OK ~  How was your DAY ?
