Dillydallying = 8:00AM plus

What do you call this one? Actually, I don’t know. I just make it sound like a poem (or for me, this piece is really a poem )

I was not in my mood of drafting a lot of paragraphs. So I shortened my daily dillydally by making it a poem. (It sounds like a poem, doesn’t it?) LOL!

Anyway, just give it a shot even though I’m not that good in poetry.

Dillydallying = 8:00AM plus

Kkkkrrrriiiiiiiiingggggggg!!!!!!!!! Kkkkrrrriiiiiiiiingggggggg!!!!!!!!!

At 6:00 AM my bedside digital clock

Annoyingly makes its morning noise

Ugh! I hate it

Especially on weekdays

‘Coz stop dreaming that means

Off to work it urges

But sleep lures me to lay still

And keeps my eyes heavily shut

So I push its button to stop

Then give myself an extension

A 5-minute or worse, more than that.

At almost 7:00 AM, again I wake up

No choice but drag myself away from bed

and scold myself giving a stern, “Hey! Don’t tarry!”

‘Coz I usually then sit on my bed for minutes

With mind wandering somewhere

So another groan, “Ugh! Get going!”

And off I go downstairs

To hurriedly cook rice for breakfast

While eating my meal

Eating, drifting, eating, drifting

Until I finish eating

Then a, “Hurry! Go get your towel!”

And off I go upstairs.

At the bathroom, I say a brief informal prayer,

“Lord, thanks for giving us this day.

Hope I and my family will always be safe and healthy.

Please bless this water,too. Hope I’ll be fine with this.”

Then a splash of water

Trickling down my tiny body

So I stomp my feet to keep me warm a bit

And quickly finish my hygienic rituals.

As I get past our round wall clock

It tick-tocks  saying,

“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”

Though it is now pointless to hurry

So I dress myself in no haste

Say goodbye to Pa and Ma

And walk down the road

In my normal pace

Arriving at the office

so late…

Don’t be like me guys. Don’t be late at work. It’s definitely not good.
