All In a Rush

I woke up in the morning and went to the loo The basin was broken so stuck it with glue Got washed in a hurry, I was running late My breakfast I swallowed, rushed out through the gate. I saw the bus coming so ran to the stage The driver ignored me, I got in a rage. I flagged down a taxi, got caught in the rush Good thing that the seating was comfy and plush! Arrived at the office exactly on time I needed a tonic of vodka and lime. All morning kept busy then stopped for a break Next door to ‘Havana’ I went for a steak. Returned to my duties; went quick on the net Paid visits to Facebook, then placed a small bet In search of a flutter, as usual in vain. I left a bit early, got caught in the rain. Back home I changed into some casuals before I put on my washing, then went to the store To buy what was needed for dinner tonight Somebody dared skip me so got in a fight; Hard punches were traded! Goodbye to my fries Now I’m at the clinic, can’t see through black eyes! --------------------------------------------------------- Contest: Today I Accomplished Sponsor: Sara Kendrick Placed: 1st
