That's Why It's Called Happy Hour

A new day starts they enter the fray Pushing, pulling get out of their way Hurry, rush, hectic pace There's no stopping this rat race Packed like sardines inside still cans Off to cubicles and offices bland Cubes to the left, cubes to the right Inside one big cube they hide Bereft of excitement their mood subdued Fingers tapping, keyboard clicking To their computers all day they are glued 5 PM comes the stampede starts again And coincidentally that's when happy hour begins You can find me on Instagram and on poetrysoup.com

This is a great contest idea. If it were possible to arrange with the limited options you have hosting a contest here... Have to chew on this one ;)

If this describe your typical day then nothing out of the ordinary is a great title. Suffice it to say you embraced serenity on the weekend or do you cut loose and have fun.

Bonjour Edwards, I loved your poem. I published a poem on the same topic (on a French site) a few months back and named it "Dis merde à l'heure!", in polite terms: Say 'the heck with time!' The French always say 'Merde alors!' (Oh crap! O boy! (or) O shit!:) Amitiés
