Just Another Normal Quirky Day
Waking up early it was the usual work day
pushed my alarm clock to off early so it wouldn't play
just out of the shower I heard the repetitive beeping sound
of the alarm clock taunting me as I made my routine rounds
Tossing my body across the wide expansion of my bed
I pushed the alarm clocks button hard until the annoying sound was dead
then I plugged my cell phone in the familiar wall outlet way
later fully charged I left for work for the day
Entering the warehouse hallway I stood at the face clock
adjusting my looks 10 times because it recognized me not
another coworker came in and I let them go ahead
wondering why on their first try their facial recognition was read
Standing there feeling like a fool staring into the facial clock
it kept denying me so many times I wanted to give it a pop
when suddenly on the 21st try it finally recognized me
wondering why there was a problem as I had no plastic surgery
Two hours later I went to the break room
got my cell phone out of my locker not a moment too soon
noticed right away it hardly had any charge left
quickly making a call before it went completely dead
Trying the new restroom out was quite an experience
the self flushing toilet flushing constantly didn't make any sense
I thought this toilet was supposed to be economical
instead as I watched it continually flush thought it pretty comical
Driving home I thought well at least my car is competent
as I enjoyed the air conditioning blowing out of the vents
pulling up into my driveway I just about hit my quirky cat
who thinks hes a dog by the way if you can imagine that.
