Come On Five o'Clock

Here I sit

head in hand,

to tired to even stand.

I gave it

All I had

And now my head

hurts really bad.

So I take this pen

and start to write

On the empty

Sheet of white.

I scrawl a word or two

thinking, well,

it is something to do.

The clock crawls

slowly towards five o'clock

By then I will be ready to rock.

This poem's done

It is still a half hour to five.

I wonder if I will make it there alive.

Pencil is down

Head back in hand.

Just a half hour more,

In this cerebral waste land.

Come on five o'clock...my woman is waiting and I am ready to rock.

It feels awful to be in this state, I too get stuck very often.
