Tea Time

Love drinking tea hot or ice cold
Monday through Sunday each week day
Never enough flavors for me
Overtime working is tea time
People around the world love tea

Unreported News

Songs from a life, sounds like the blues,
microwave fries, pot noodle, stews,
dead on two legs, only half-nine,
saying yes, to the overtime,
this months rent and the kids' new shoes.

Paying forward, paying your dues,
when there isn't much left to lose,
longing for friends, weekends and wine,
songs from a life.

Cut price make up covers the bruise,
somewhere hard cash, won't

Overtime

If you work from nine to five you are losing out on the biggest prize; if you work from nine to five you just don’t know how to roll the dice. 

Daytime is busy and the office is filled with misery, traffic is moving in and out and sometimes it makes you want to shout.

Hell Is Freezing Overtime

paralyzed in 
hellishly cold
confining space
pummeled by cruel 
icy shards 

feeling lost & unfound
waiting to get lost as
the past cries
the present sighs &
the future screams

the days collapse into
another expiring year
in the Wild Wild western 
& northern hemispheres
bleeding through bullet holes

Apocalypse Not Yet
brace for frigid impact
paradise is hopelessly lost
deluded dinosaurs roam the earth 
Big Tech is Watching

Better

If Only We Could Turn Back the Hands of Time

I loved a story at bedtime,
but I could do a nap in the daytime.

Before I knew it I was nine,
boy was that a great pie made out of limes.

I would then go back to my prime,
and really really shine.

There would be no more jobs that were part-time,
no more bosses with only a dime.

I would not

Working Overtime


Asbestos I can tell,
my lungs are working hard as
a sump pump in a clogged well
Though the cancer infiltration rate is currently low,
my body count white cell ineffectiveness is bound to grow
Asbestos I can tell,
my future breathing capacity
don’t look so well
Got my lungs working overtime
in this here deep underground coal mine
Down below, it’s dark and damp

Overtime

I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime
Tonight is all about you so close your eyes
Tonight I'm going to please your body, as I already know your mind
I'm not just going to put the work in, I'm going to give you overtime

I know you've had a long day

Satan Is Working Overtime

Many people believe that Satan is a myth, they think that he doesn't exist.
Sadly, he is real and the evil things that he causes are too many to list.
The world keeps getting worse and worse, people lie, cheat and commit crimes.
The reason why things are getting worse is because Satan is working overtime.
Satan and his

Overtime

On the schedule 
Very often unplanned;
Energy depleted but on demand;
Rarely appreciated 
Taking one for the team,
I don't even fit into;
Money is the goal? Ha!
Everyone. Anyone. But me

Overtime Again

Overtime Again   
by Dave Stinnett

What is it about this temperature you always keep so hot
You always want to “fire me up”, when you’re getting’ all I’ve got,
I spend my whole life cookin’ things I know you’ll never eat,
There’s more than iron that’s melting from this God forsaken heat, 

It’s me, your oven, on

Overtime

There is a place in your life 
Where you need to believe in yourself 
I keep falling down
But the angels are underneath
I'm afraid of changing
But I need to figure it out 
Thinking back on time
Cant stop crying, my heart cant take it anymore
Take me away lord
Please come save me
My heart is blind
There is no reflection
I'm

911—underground Overtime Night Workers (Acrostic)

Nine Eleven—a dark day lives of many workers were stolen away
Individuals worked all night; stayed; without seeing the light of day
Nose to the grindstone below floor level they labored productively
Effectively moving papers, stacks, racks, speedily and so selectively

Encouraged basement overtime; more taxes paid; they worked away
Loyal workers; dedicated to the cause; laziness to them—not a
