Not the Soup

~hanging on~

I wake, bright and early like the sun
I fall asleep a few seconds before dawn.

With a few hours of sleep
I found myself counting sheep.

Drinking  coffee before I leave
Found myself in a zone not even I believe

I kick the neighbors  dog real far
Tired of him barking before I get into my car

Turn my radio on real loud
Enjoying music loud and proud

I never late
I'm responsible in this job I hate

The owner taps the door and found me asleep
Up in my face like a creep.

He tells me I am lucky he can not work alone.
Why I insist of not waking him before I leave our home?

I bet he wishes he could fire me
I will not agree

As soon as I log out of the Poetry Soup I tell him when I'm done. 
When he goes to bed I still find myself roaming the Internet for fun :)

With a goodnight kiss, he asked, if I could give him some
I say just one more comment hun,  I'm  almost done

By 4:00 am I am still on the Soup.
He wakes up to the same situation
Yells at me, he grabs my laptop and then he........

hey, wasn't this a poem for a contest that never was judged? I still remember because it was called "Leave me haning" and that is exactly what the guy did to us with his contest!! (thanks for my win, Skat)

Cool I like the kicking the nieghbor's dog. I write all my poems in the early hours of the morning and sleep by day. Naughty but that's work that dictates me hours

Irma, do you remember THIS contest. Gosh, I was dying to know how everyone ended their story poems and GArth has VANISHED from the site!! thanks for your comment. I always feel guilty when I talk to you since I didn't enter your contest. I just can't think what i would say for it. But I want it to be successful for you and I have not even come across any of the entries for it yet. You are such a sweetheart. Luv, Andrea ps did you see Linda's latest contest. It;s one you could really do well in!
