Another Working Day

My alarm hit me like a ton of bricks.
I had to play life's game of pick-up sticks.
I leapt up to put on my working clothes.
There was no time to doze.

Dashing about, I did, like a bat from Hell
to arrive on time to my cubicle cell,
wondering if I might get very far.
I left my brain inside a jar.

My boss looked at me somewhat askance,
my underwear misplaced outside my pants,
"Today, as my performance you appraise,
I think it's time for a raise'".

Few days ago I put my trousers on inside out. I wore them like that for a few hours before I realised. Luckily I hadn't left the house. Felt just as comfy though lol. Not done the underwear over them ...yet! but give me time lol. Emilia : )

Haha, I remember doing that kind of stuff as a little kid. I still often don't line up the buttons on my shirt right. Then there was the time in junior high school, when I was on the wrestling team, and everyone laughed at me, because I had my wrestling shoes on the wrong feet.

I wrote it just after getting up from a nap, but now, I just really did write a poem based on my dream, called The Somnambulist. I don't think it's too good though, doesn't make sense.
