Getting Off Work
One more hour to wait.
Then will be out the gate.
Waiting for customers,
Air-conditioning blurs.
Fifty five more minutes,
Waiting will drive me nuts.
Listening to the agents,
Popping in more mints.
Soon it will be all over,
No more calls for flower.
Will be on my way home,
Comfortably in my zone.
Relaxing in my chair,
Not worry about my hair.
Don't want to see the news,
That will give me the blues.
Enjoy my family,
Who I can really see.
Not think of tomorrow,
Back to work and sorrow.

Poetry: The office
by James Smith
My Personal Parlor
Only about an inch or so of wine left
The night has been productive
Boy fed, entertained, and put to
by Huckster
It's Trivial
The hours were expended;
The day had finally ended.
And what had I completed
For this vile firm conceited?
My efforts
The picture is crooked on the wall.
It is five past two and
I've been watching it since noon
It hasn't moved.
No one has straightened
Getting Off Work
One more hour to wait.
Then will be out the gate.
Waiting for customers,
Air-condi tioning blurs.
Fifty five

Office Life in Haiku

The copier jam
Like freeway Chicago traffic
It's so frustrating
My mailbox is full
Could it be money?
