9 to 5

I've done the 9 to 5,
2.4 children,
The mortgage,
Wife.
If that's what life is meant for,
You can keep it,
Cos it's shite.

Boring night's and lies,
A job you hate,
To pay for.
To pay for all the sacrifices,
All the wasted time.

Very much like the succinct way you handle subject. Wish my rhymes were shorter sometimes.Β

I enjoyed the frankness of this poem John but thankfully and although I have my deamons, I'm enjoying life with my wife and 2.4 kids to the maximum at the moment. I do however like to have a good blowout every few months that takes me days to recover from. That's when I'm truely free I suppose. Then it's back to the grind.

Cheers Syd! And fair play to you mate, enjoy it! I did, and I loved it mate, until I found out half of the 16yrs together were a lie. Still, got the kids though, so not all bad. I'm also just trying a bit of short, blunt stuff atm ☺

Hi John, I love how you can express so much in such a concise package! I cant seem to do that!Β Despite outer appearences I suspect there are many more who totally share your feelings..but dont embed yourself in this reflection as truly tomorrow really is another day..ok ok sounds Β mushy but not meant to be - but I have been in that same situation and things can and Β do change for the better..love your writing!

Thank you so much Lodigiana! You are so right... this is just a reflection from the past though, I'm in a far better place now, but thank you! And I have to say, it's nice to see that I haven't been totally boycotted... ☺
