Back to bed

Waking up late this morning
The alarm clock didn't ring
So I had to rush with my shower
Didn't even have time to sing

Needing to dry off really fast
While leaving my hair soaking wet
I try to slide into my trousers
But my legs not through them yet

I'm hopping to the wardrobe
And still trying to put them on
Now looking for a clean shirt
But realize they've all gone

I remember I washed some clothes
And hung them out for drying
I rush outside to grab the nearest
Time now for the ironing

Balancing a coffee in one hand
And a hot iron in the other
There's more creases than when I started
I don't know why I bother

My shirts on but not buttoned
And a tie looped around my neck
I check for my look in the mirror
And see a nervous wreck

No time to try and fix things
Or even think about a shave
Grab my tooth brush and deodorant
But more time is what I crave

I rush outside barely dressed
And the first person that I see
Has to be my nosy neighbour
Who smiles when noticing me

She cannot help but smirk
I'm relieved that I cannot stay
Then asks me why I'm going to work
On a public holiday...
