Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge 60.
‘Haste’ is our inspiration. Here’s my Ovi.
Haste makes waste, I’ve heard it said
Why get up? I’ll stay in bed
It’s August! The office is dead
Good day to sleep in
Push the snooze, catch more ZZ’s
How I wish I could make time freeze
Loll around doing as I please
I’m just so very tired
Phone is ringing off the hook
Guess I should go take a look
But instead I throw a book
My boss left a message
You forgot about the meeting
Future customer was seething
It’s too late now, he is leaving
You blew it, pal
Do not bother coming back
Forget your stuff; someone will pack
And one more thing, you’re fired Jack
Think I’ll catch forty winks

Or …. as we’ve heard a million times before but is still timely …. ‘you snooze, you lose!’
See Jack. See Jack sleep. See Jack in the unemployment office! 😅
Thanks, Michele!

Jack has my sympathy. Some days it’s just hard to wake up.

Perhaps he should get a job as bed tester – someone has to do it!
