"MY DAY"

EVERY MORNING AT FIVE I START MY DAY

FOR FORTY TWO YEARS IT'S BEEN THIS WAY.

I WORKED ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT WAY BACK THEN.

THE FIRST BUS OUT WAS FOR ALL THE PIT MEN.

TO TAKE THEM ALONG FOR THERE HARD DAYS WORK.

DOWN IN THE BOWERS OF THE DARK GRIMEY EARTH.

MY FATHER WAS A MINER IN TIMES OF OLD

AT MANVERS MAIN WORTH THERE WEIGHT IN GOLD

SO UP EACH MORNING I HAD TO BE.

READY AND WAITING FOR THE PADDY TO TAKE ME.

I'D GATHER UP MY FLOAT AND OFF WE'D GO.

A JOB I LOVED VERY MUCH SO.

WELL SINCE THEM DAYS AND THE OLDER I GOT.

I WORKED IN THE OFFICE PLUS THE LOCAL SHOP.

THEN CAME MARRIAGE AND A FAMILY OF FOUR.

SO UP AGAIN AT FIVE TO DO ALL MY CHORES.

CLEAN CLOTHES BREAKFAST FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM.

WALKED A MILE TO SCHOOL IT WAS NO PROBLEM.

BACK HOME AGAIN FOR THE DAILY ROUTINE.

NEVER DID I STOP I WAS LIKE A MACHINE.

I WOULD NEVER LEAVE MY CHILDREN SO I WORKED ON A NIGHT.

THIS PLAN WORKED BEST FOR ME IT SEEMED JUST RIGHT.

FORTY TWO YEARS ON I AM JUST THE SAME.

UP AT FIVE TO START ONCE AGAIN.

I HAVE TRIED SLEEPING LONGER BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY.

MY BODY WONT RELAX NO MATTER HOW I TRY.

AT THE END OF THE DAY AROUND ABOUT TEN.

AFTER SEVENTEEN HOURS I FEEL THEN.

IT'S TIME TO RELAX HAVE A COFFEE IN MY CHAIR.

THIS GRAPHIC BY DONNA YOU CAN SEE  DOWN THERE.

I FIND THE IDEAL PICTURE FOR MY NEW RHYME.

FOR RELAXING IN AT TEN BEFORE MY BEDTIME.

ONE DAY I MIGHT FIND THE TIME TO CHAT.

I'LL RATTLE AWAY ABOUT THIS AND THAT.

BUT AT THIS PRESENT TIME I'M AS BUSY AS A BEE.

WITH LOTS OF OTHER THINGS SO PLEASE EXUSE ME.

I GRAB THE ODD MOMENTS TO FOLLOW MY ALERTS.

AND ENTER MY RHYMES THIS IS ONE OF MY PERKS.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF I HOPE YOUVE ENJOYED.

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL AND I WAS EMPLOYED.

NOW I'M A PENSIONER AND THE COAL MINING GONE.

I'M STILL UP AT FIVE MY COMPUTER TO PLONK ON.

BEFORE I START MY LONG BUSY DAY.

CARRYING ON IN THE SAME OLD WAY.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED WE ALL KNOW WELL.

I LOVE THE BYGONE DAYS BUT I  I LOVE MY AOL.

IT GIVEN ME A CHANCE TO MEET NEW FRIENDS.

SO I'M TYPEING IN MY RHYME AS ANOTHER DAY ENDS.

TAKE CARE ALL OF YOU YOUR JOURNALS I ADORE.

I'LL NOW RETIRE UNTILL FIVE ONCE

MORE.
