Slow Burner

It’s lunchtime, I’m lounging & free until 3

A late start this morning because lazy is me.

I was having the craic but only in my dreams

Pulling pints & getting drunk, drink on the brain it seems.

Waking up was sobering, with not a pint in sight

Overslept & late for class, even after an early night.

Midday arrived & so did I, for some art appreciation

Dali, Klimt & Signac, all under my investigation.

Frayed about the edges, I struggled to concentrate

But I got a little work done, even though I was 2 hours late.

A half an hour left to do exactly as I please

So goes my Thursday, just shooting the breeze.
