Sum up your day in a rhyme

Alf Veedersane · 20-03-2014 01:02PM

I'm looking at a pile of work
That I really have to do
But instead of that I'll grab the Times
And go and have a poo.

danniemcq · 20-03-2014 01:04PM

Backwards Man with all your thanks
giving them out to all us planks
The interest in our day
I hope doesn't decay
Or is this just a load of pranks

Tis easier, I find,
and I've often heard folks say,
to do ten other jobs
than the one I had today

I've washed up, hoovered floors;
I've started making dinner.
I planted seeds and fed the hens,
so why am I not a winner?

Cos yet again, I've chickened out
and now it's getting late
to do the do and take out tools
for the job that "cannot wait"

Perhaps I'll write a poem.
It's a less demanding thing
than starting on the job
with the sawing and the drilling

One day I'll have a cupboard
where the towels are piled high.
Where damp clothes and ironed sheets
will find a place to lie

The bus is full of smelly folk
Who fart and burp and stink of smoke
Garlic mayo, sweated booze
Careful now! You breathe you lose

The job is just a means to an end
but the pettiness drives me round the bend
Mind games, point scoring, politics
The lazy ones and the office licks

Incessant small talk and mindless drivel
Makes the intellect shrink and shrivel
"the weather, the banks, the rain, the lift"
you have no personality - catch my drift?

Bread is the enemy but today I need
tea, batch toast - a friend indeed
Screw the scales and screw the bowels
I'm ready to throw in the towel

The golden moment shall arrive at nine
When I hear my little dog bark and whine
Waiting for me with hugs and play
The best best best part of the day

Feck it all, we'll open the shiraz
Make it all fade away like a mirage
each drop it seems, like liquid gold
and a few marlboro lights just to be bold

A plan for romance, some quiet time
but gradually this plan is undermined
Sleepy, content, drunk and full...
To bed with two hot water bottles full!

* A standing ovation from across the nation. *

I read this as "a standing ovualtion" - I was like wtf?

The missing plane might be near oz
my tooth has to come out
all because
the dentist wants to be able to shout
I made money
off this dummy

Mammanabammana · 20-03-2014 02:19PM

Woke up and thank
"I feel like a ****"
Then I had tea.
So far that's me.

If 'thought' rhymed with any word for masturbating I would have used that...

Menas · 20-03-2014 02:20PM

The wind it is breezy,
The girls they are sleazy,
The rain it is pouring,
This poem is so boring.

castletownman · 20-03-2014 02:25PM

Why is it always me,
that's caught behind a slowpoke,
when there's somewhere have to be?
Women in banks are some joke!

:eek: Taking After Hours poetry to a new level. Your poem was really enjoyable to read.

Oh Joan Burton
Cant you hear? the countries Hurtin'
Another hour my mood turns sour
Another day, another bill to pay
Another application, another elimination

My countries turned her back on me, left me out to rot
loosening its ties and that deep down bond, forcing me to abscond;
In favour of another, too soon you have forgotton;
without your roots you too will rot

Cee-Jay-Cee · 20-03-2014 02:59PM

My day started bright but ended up ****e.

Butterface · 20-03-2014 03:01PM

Got up really late this morning,
I'm a student!
Bought some reduced priced meat,
I'm being prudent!

Have to read a bit and study,
Nothing hard!
Then I'll drink a bottle of wine,
And get langered!

Blondie919 · 20-03-2014 03:03PM

2 days left of the course I'm on,
This short week is still too long,
Haven't done a tap all day,
Finished tomorrow, hip hip hooray!!

Plazaman · 20-03-2014 03:05PM

No more rhymes now, I mean it!

Anybody wanna peanut?

131spanner · 20-03-2014 03:07PM

Slept in late,
college is great,
the meal out later on,
should be good fun!

maguic24 · 20-03-2014 03:10PM

I woke up this morning yearning for a cup of tea
But I took the teabag out in haste
and instead I got a cup of wee...

To the car I dashed,
as the rain poured down,
'Oh god says I, I look like a clown'

No brush could fix the mop on my head
Where was my hat?
Under the bed!

I got to work feeling tired and blue
I thought some chocolate might brighten my mood
Instead I feel guilty, it's the devils food!

Now it's time to resume working,
less procrastination
I think I need coffee
to keep my concentration

I accidentally posted this on the wrong thread. I hope no one saw it, they'll think I got the crazies. I think I'll get that coffee now. :P

GvidoR · 20-03-2014 03:14PM

Woke up this morning,
It was king of boring,
Put on a shirt made from silk,
And threw out a bottle of old milk,
Also my name is not Dave,
So I sold my microwave.

D1stant · 20-03-2014 03:15PM

Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

The Diabolical Monocle · 20-03-2014 03:22PM

Whats the matter you - hey
never get a the sex
whadda the fvck to do

Dublin nice a place

PizzamanIRL · 20-03-2014 03:22PM

Eat
Sleep
Rave
Repeat

dar100 · 20-03-2014 03:23PM

Woke up on the sofa,
Cos I aint got my own gaff,
price of property in dublin,
would have you sleeping on a mat,
got into work,
logged str8 onto Daft,
not seeing anything in my price range,
can anyone identify with that???

Little Acorn · 20-03-2014 03:30PM

Stayed up all night,
there was news about the flight,
Sleep came at seven,
ahh slumber heaven...
Alarm knocked on mute,
weary brain gave not a hoot.

Now it wakes, six hours too late,
this fog I feel is too heavy a weight.
Shower, tea, smoke, then out the door,
nerves about class at the fore.

Home after six is the plan,
light after midnight is what I should ban,
For the day is near gone now, and my mind still hazy,
never meant to be so dreadfully lazy.

Need to hit the road now, it's time to roam,
instead I'm still here writing a poem....

jester77 · 20-03-2014 03:41PM

Sun is shining, Spring has started
Raised the duvet after I farted
Out of bed & into the shower
Grabbed a coffee for extra power
Off I ramble towards the train
No more days of awful rain
Info the office, I arrive at nine
Coffee's kicked in, it's time to shine
The day is now 8 hours old
And here I am writing on boards

FTA69 · 20-03-2014 04:15PM

I know what it's like to wake up f*cked up,
Pockets broke as hell, another rock to sell,
People look at you like you're the user, selling drugs to all the losers, mad Buddha abuser.
But they don't know about the stress filled day, baby on the way, mad bills to pay,
That's why you drink Tanqueray,
So you can reminisce, and wish,
That you wasn't living so devilish.

(True Story)

danniemcq · 20-03-2014 04:25PM

My day is nearly done
Posting in here was fun
Yous all kept me entertained
While at the desk I was chained
database fixes .... none

pharmaton · 20-03-2014 04:35PM

ran to an exam in the pouring rain
trousers were all soggy
sleepless night I'm groggy
saved bastard files as templates
so now am gonna flagellate
would do it all again
cause thats how I roll
(microsoft)Word

kumate_champ07 · 20-03-2014 04:36PM

fill it up no need for a spoon
wait 5 mins as the aroma fills the room
wide awake and full of beans
steak on the pan no room for greens
skies turned blue road turning grey
no need to worry 'bout jeans getting spray
hop on my bike and off to local Lidl
lookin for ideas then home for a fiddle

AgileMyth · 20-03-2014 04:55PM

I call this one 'Poetic Licence'

Its ten to four and I'm still in bed.
Thoughts and memories swirl through my head.
What the fuck am I doing with my life.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

La_Gordy · 20-03-2014 04:59PM

A trip to the Coombe,
They poked at my womb,
Back in work,
In the pub I shall lurk.

Sum up your day in a rhyme
