What a Day!
By shywriter
21 May 2005

This is more of a childish rhyme than the wonderfully meaningful poetry other people have posted.  It was written whilst I was sat invigilating an hour-long exam in the middle of what was an awful day proceeded by many other awful days!!

I've never written anything like it before and wouldn't look to do anything again in the future, it was just a bit of fun to pass the time. I started it then got into the rhyming a bit, but couldn't get the start to flow. I would be interested to hear what you think of it.  Thanks.


What a day!

I want to SHOUT!

I want to SWEAR!

I want to pull out all my hair!

How can one day

go so astray?

Why won't the work just GO AWAY?

 

I want to go,

to just yell 'NO!'

and stamp and curse just so they know

I'm really stressed,

can't do my best.

I just need some time to rest.

 

Come on, take heart!

Chin up, let's start.

Please don't let it fall apart.

No other way

to earn this pay.

I have to say, though - what a day!

lol Shy, I can definetly relate to this- I've been doing my finals lately and last week I had four in a row- I didnt have time to sleep or anything- I so felt like saying "I cant handle this they can all go to hell". Not all pieces have to be deep- this is lots of fun, I enjoyed it ;)
captured a mood lots will recognise
