A Productive Day

Accidental Poet

 

Startled from sound sleep

My morning alarm on time

A slow exit from bed

My awake state drags behind

 

I feel the pull

Of a warm and comfy bed

It says, “Come back you work dog”

“Come back and rest your head”

 

But reluctantly

I must resist

For a productive day waits

And the rising sun persists

 

Breath in, breath out

One foot in front of the other

Look to the left and right

Steer myself like a rudder

 

Now I’m on my way

Too late for turning back

Just keep repeating

I’ve gotta stay on this track

 

So on to the work day

We’re in the groove

Like a well oiled machine

Everything running smooth

 

Suddenly a catastrophe

The shit hits the fan

Somebody dropped the ball

And we’ll fix it if we can

 

A shift here

And a change there

A quick fix complete

Now a smile everyone wears

 

And before long

Days end in sight

I love a productive day

But home feels oh so right

        Getting out of bed in the morning is allways hard but nothing is better than that feeling of accomplishment after a productive day!

        • Accidental Poet

          Yes, looking back on the day I can smile at knowing I earned my pay.

            Thanks orchi, sorry I didn't have time to swoon today. But I thought of you swooning.

            • orchidee

              Thanks AP. Yes, me swooning. Me days are horribly un-productive now. I'm tied to a ball and chain, probably for ever! lol.

              I just love the way your poem starts! I too am a slow starter, but like a freight train, once I am moving there is no stopping!
              Your excellent poem is such a good reminder of why we are getting out of bed in the first place!

              • Accidental Poet

                Yep, once we get rollin' and put the ball in play the game is on. Thanks Fred.
