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...
