Wake up to the day

checking my clock

and oh my goodness

almost died of shock!

Slept in too darned late

right past the news,

skipping my shower

I head straight for my shoes.

Driving my car

eating a peach

looking in my mirror

I let out a screech!

Oh how I long

for a day at the beach.

Get out of my car

assessing the dent

I just acquired

while paying my rent.

Swap numbers and papers

checking content

I swear that this day

is here to torment.

Go to insurance

and give them my speech,

then sit and I listen

to all that they preach.

Oh how I long

for a day at the beach.

Head down to the store

pick up food and some bleach,

grab scratch and some lotto,

a couple of each,

checking my numbers

and always just out of reach

is my long, long awaited

day at the beach.
