Touch Me-Monday

NO!
Not now
Damn alarm
Feel like crying
Another Monday
I have to go to work
And still feeling so confused
Look at all those freaking stop lights
Touch me, tell me I am not dreaming
Will one of you damn lights turn green today

It's rush hour? How come we are not moving
Touch me again. With a baseball bat
Take me away from this nightmare
A tropical island please
I’ll touch that alarm clock
With a large hammer
No more Mondays
Feel better? 
Feel good?
YES!


Vince Suzadail Jr
For Nette Onclaud's Touch me count -up and down contest

Wish I could send you a "tropical island," Vince. There are alarm clocks (with padding) that you can throw against a wall to make them stop ringing. Maybe for your next birthday... Excellent work! Congratulations on taking the top spot in Nette's contest! Love, Carolyn
