Getting Up It's 5 am on the clock Taking my shower Then it's time to towel me off Getting my lunch ready More water and pop at the end of my day to reward me There some beef sticks and garlic chips There were some Ritz crackers and some cheese spread and olives There was some bagels and onion and chive cream cheese An occasional banana or two Eat a bowl of cereal Watch some taped shows Americas Got Talent, What Would You Do?, Judge Judy, Looney Tunes Drive for 21.5 miles Singing my songs The favorite part of my day Waiting for 15 minutes to walk into work Reading Dubuque's Telegraph Herald Punching in Minds in a fog Getting yelled at Screwing up Getting made fun of by the boss Feeling like hell Going on break at 9:15 am Going on break again at 12:30 pm Only two more hours Punching Out at 3 pm I'm free! I'm going home! I'm going to sing in my car and drink Mountain Dew! I'm happy now!

About this poem:
Had to work again on Saturday. They made us come in late which really sucks. I am used to leaving at 1 pm, and once got to leave at 10 am, that was neat. They have an old Rick Dees Top 40 countdown on from 7 am to 11 am. I listen to that on my first break. One song was Bryan Adams Summer of 69 from 1985.
SundaySilence, thanks for your comment. It is fun to watch Judge Judy and Chef Ramsey yell at people, but no fun when it happens to you, that's for sure.
Hi, mcradloff, Although I hate long commutes, the narrator has claimed the Drive for 21.5 miles and by Singing my songs made it The favorite part of my day. Well done. It's always nice when one can end one's work day and say, I'm happy now! So many bring work's Feeling like hell home with them. Thanks for sharing Just Another Day and making it your own.
