Ode To Monday- Oh Monday, you villain, you calendar crook, You sneak in so sly when no one’s lookin’ — look! You trample my weekend with steel-toed despair, And steal all my joy (and my clean underwear). My alarm clock explodes with a shrieking banshee, While I drool on my pillow, still dreaming of brie. Coffee? I need it, but it’s playing coy, Spilling down my shirt like a caffeine destroy. My hair’s in rebellion, my socks never match, My lunch? Left at home. My life? Hard to catch. Traffic is slower than Wi-Fi in caves, While my inbox just roars with tsunami-sized waves. Meetings! Oh, joy — five hours of doom, Where Greg shares his screen... and forgets to unmute Zoom. The printer’s possessed, my stapler just quit, I whisper "I hate you" and throw a small fit. Yet somehow we do it — survive this cruel day, By dreaming of Friday... still four days away. So cheers, dear Monday, you soul-sucking blight — You may win the morning, but I’ll nap by night. 😴💼
