TICK TOCK

…it can’t be that time….

TICK TOCK
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
The hands moved round the clock
It can't be that time again surely
My poor old body is all achy
The alarm shrills its strident sound
One foot creeps out onto the ground
The other one wants to stay warm
The messages slowly inch up to inform
The rest of my tired limbs to awaken
Time to get up and swing into action
To face another day commuting
With other people sniffing and shuffling
Standing on the cold concrete platform
Ready to engage another day and perform
Kindness rarely seen except in dreams
As my inner mind silently blasphemes.

  1. We're never ready for it are we? No wonder it's called the daily grind.

  3. Nice one. I like the silent blaspheming. I'm sure there's lots of that, especially on a Monday :-)

  5. This really hits home for me this week. I had 9 days off work, no alarm, no pressure. Now I'm back to the grind and I want to smash my alarm clock, lol.
