This Gentleman's Workday

Arose before dawn
Smelled the coffee
Fed my dog  
Worked in a workout 
Showered and dressed 
Drove ahead of the pack
First in the building 
Dove headfirst into work 
Developed and crunched concepts 
Made calls and commitments
Met people shook hands 
Exchanged and grew trusts
Followed through and advanced
Checked up on progress 
Oiled wherever needed 
Jumped inevitable hoops 
Made sure all were pleased
Refused all distractions
Did the best that I could 
Stayed focused and faithful
Performance objectives achieved 
Was a well oiled machine 
Turned off the lights 
Drove home in the dark 
Quantified the day 
Satisfied with exception
Smiles were mostly obligatory 
Heart remained disengaged
Were you my reward 
At the end everyday
The brass ring I reach for 
Would transform into gold
Cut excess work-time
Embark in joyful productivity 
Blessed forevermore creating with you 
Fed my dog 
Fed me
Said my prayers 
Went to bed
