Rainy Monday Mule

Turning my nemesis-alarm off,
I wonder at racket lacking stop
before seeking me thru caffeine.
Pouring coffee, I yawn glance up
and feel mood hope end abrupt.
Sheet rain with winds off the chain
are attacking my window pane.
Another Monday aloofness move
to define me as society’s mule.  
Someone really should reboot 
all customs man thinks of use,
like battling storms nature fueled.
Dandy, just dandy, Monday abuse
forcing me in to a quick-quick scoot.
No time to think or even pack food,
For rush I must to the theft of calm
by first car-crawling my stress to harm.

The nemeis-alarm is so appropriately telling your true feelings. Monday aloofness also tells so much! Nicely written, CayCay.

Commuting is a silly human trick, we are but cattle with four wheels, steering and massive yawns. This is how I always felt when nasty weather forced a slow highway crawl that we all morning rushed to jump into. Thanks, Caren. All the best ... CayCay

Sorry I missed this one earlier. Seems I do that a lot lately. Congratulations on your placement. I abhor Mondays and you've captured my sentiments exactly. I wish for a company to work for where we can enter and leave at random hours depending on our moods. I bet it would be more productive a company. Lol

No sorry, no, no. I abhor trekking from my warm home into city rain insanity which was required of me many, many, many, many times. Did I tell you it happened many times? I wish for a company that paid us both to write poetry! Always enjoy your presence, Rhoda and I know that you are doing the best you can time-wise. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Wonderfully described CayCay. Now lets just crawl back into a warm bed and let the sound of the rain lull us to sleep.

It is a wonderful, sleep inducing lullaby rain often plays, I could yawn just thinking about the sound. Especially on a tin roof. I am delighted, James, that you enjoyed the poem. Stay well and warm ... CayCay

When it rains, I mean fiercely, the morning commute can be down right ridiculous with its challenges. Mine was always into the city and quite an ordeal. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and I'm glad I don't work in an office any longer. All the best ... CayCay

I know for some Mondays are so difficult. I never worked regular weekdays I work four days on three days off and other combinations so I never really had to face Monday. That is why I'm not writing about it. You did great on this! I hope it is a winner for you my friend. xxoo

Hi, Sweetheart. I would have preferred your work schedule to the solid 40+ I always dealt with. I am so glad to no longer be tied to the 'have-to' clock. Hope to talk with you soon. Love ... CayCay
