Get a Grip

Too many obstacles in my way
to get anything done today.

I over slept
called in sick.
Boss got ticked.
Oh well, he'll get
over it.

My head feels like
it's been hit
with a brick.

Stayed up late
to conjugate.
Seeking my soul mate.

Sweet grapes divine,
dranked some wine.
Dazzled the guys on line.

Before I knew it,
was 4 am.
You wouldn't believe 
what I saw on cam.

This computer brings out
the devil in me.
I joke around, 
shoot the breeze,
to some degree.

I have my limits.
I must admit.
I read your every comment.
I don't care how high your thermits gets !

Your apologies accepted.
And this wine I drink makes me no exception.
brb....I have and interception.
My empty glass needs a refill.
It's better than popping pills
but I won't do things against my will.
Go take a cold shower and chill.

Your charming words are alluring
and so reassuring.
They're as sweet as the wine I sip.
But you need to get a grip !
