5 O'Clock

5 o'clock  Voices all around me first clear... slowly the rumbling chatter begins to fade finally it disappears Faint sounds of the keyboards peck,  click-click... rolling mice  move about each desk these sounds too... will soon rest Phone receivers landing, printers jamming, co-workers withstanding  while managers demanding... soon... no ones left standing As the time nears 5 o'clock... tick tock work day is over all work stops... Lay
