Nette Onclaud Poet List

Clean-Up Project

I was rushing a project, due at 6,
With a messy top, I couldn’t resist
Arranging trays with photos of my man;
Such thick debris, a whole clean-up began.
A jar of expired tea spilled on my chest
Now, this made me shake off a lunch hour’s rest.
My hands pulled out scarves, lotion, and fake gems
From a drawer filled with old beauty items!
Then, I checked a pile of discs that was needed
Yet my eyes found notes, memos never read.
By 4 pm, job mates helped me wipe out
Heaps of litter, junk mail pouring like spouts.
Oh deadline came while I froze on page 1, 
Knowing the boss would demand a rerun!

Leon Datu May 17, 2015 at 2:39 PM When in a rush, we tend to delay and divert attention to something else. Good thing you at least did an office-room makeover. A 7 for creativity and artistry.

Judy Konos May 17, 2015 at 2:26 PM That's not an accomplishment! That's a prison sentence! LOL Good one...sounds like a winner .....

Jan Allison May 17, 2015 at 1:18 PM Sounds like a nightmare of a day Nette - whatever can go wrong usually does - guess it happens to us all at some time - good luck in the contest:-) Hugs Jan xx 7
