#10

We got stuck on our way to floor eight
Twelve people boxed up in a crate
Stairs can be slow
But elevators blow
When you overload the capacity weight.

#9

My stomach keeps rumbling so
I need groceries; I did mean to go
Called in with the flu
Even though that's not true
I'll get out of bed after this show.

#8

I was driving on Route 38
I really was running quite late
I do apologize
to not recognize
it was you that I scoffed as I raced.

#7

Okay, I was driving too fast

but that bitch sneered at me as she passed

the ticket was steep

like, we're not talking cheap

meant to quit work today but, alas. 

#6

The luncheon was dull and jejune
hopes deflating like a balloon
he was nowhere in sight
a dreary invite
I prayed you’d get there by noon.

#5

I know that you think I'm a freak
my job pays well but god it's so bleak
depression is catching
the uniform's scratchy
Oh maybe I'll quit next week.

#4

I was waiting alone for the train
standing outside in the rain
but to my dismay
I had the wrong day
I’d probably be missing my plane.
