I may be too late on the poem entry, but night shift life really screws with my hours sometimes.
However, I'd still like to submit, just for the sake of submitting. If it makes one person smile or chuckle then I feel like I've done my job. And of course, congratulations to the winners!
Driving home from work all night,
Something doesn't feel quite right...
I begin to think back upon my day,
Too much work, too little pay.
Although I love the work I do,
It wears on my mind, and body too.
My knees both ache, my back is sore,
And has my neck ever hurt like this before?
If I'm the captain then I must steer,
To calmer waters of my career.
I could continue to dwell about work all day,
But I've got a dog that wants to play.
Home again, I've come at last,
Release the hound, it has a task!
Turn on the shower, and fill his bowl,
Reward me with scents to soothe my soul.
I hum as I wash, and let pup harmonize,
Singing sweet lavender lullabies.
Out of the bath and onto the bed,
Let's share a puff and clear my head!
Draw in deep, or a little less,
Exhale pain, exhale stress.
My mood lightens, and I intend,
To find my dog another friend.
So many dogs to fill my needs,
How will I choose among the breeds?
Mahogany
Rook, A Redwood queen?
Bacote hugs or Rosewood dreams?
Myrtle, Tamarind, Pecan or Teak?
Any dog can fill that seat!
There's no real way that I'll choose wrong,
The Underdog clan breeds their pups strong!
Quality and service are widely known,
To those with dogs in loving homes.
A word to those who are looking too,
When you adopt a dog, the pack adopts you.
And of course, a haiku;
The Underdog naps
I embrace the sweet vapor
Finally sleep comes
. I must admit though i am a little confused as to the options on what VVPS to get and really looking for the smallest most functional unit. if someone coud post a link or point me to one that they believe is the best bang for the buck it would be much appreciated!
