241 - I didn't go to work today because

I didn’t go to work today because
I got no sleep last night. Got up at five,
E-mailed a publisher, and then I was
All set to do an undercover dive.
But then, gosh, flippin’ eck, and snakes alive,
The moron below me starts hammering
Like Thor on steroids, making my brain jive,
My relaxation paranoid, staring
Into the void of this new day bearing
Down on my helpless shell, a real lost cause.
So I watched TV, then wrote about life,
The universe, and almost everything.
And so to bed, again, but then the roars
Of lawnmower engines rang out. Such mental strife!
