I hate Mondays,
it's bad enough
going to a job
I despise
but there's something
infinitely wrong
with rising
before the sun has
I'd always
meant to lobby my
local government
for laws against this
But to get anything done
you'd have to wake up early
and that wholly defeated
my purposes
I hate Mondays
it looms over Sunday
and ruins my laze
with thoughts of the week
and hours of toil for
little slips of paper
that are out of my hand
before you can really take hold
Bills, rent, taxes
and assorted
misery of which there
are no shortage of but  
are always compounded
by the one day
who's name I
dread most
Did i ever mention
I hate Mondays?


This probably isn't poetry as much as it is a rant but I thought I'd post it anyway. For anybody who feels the same. Sigh...

Aenimal,
So tell me, do you not like Mondays? It was hard to guess from the rant. IT was however a very good rant for my Monday, thanks.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Aenimal,

today was a monday and also the first day of school...i felt mildly depressed for the whole day..

But to get anything done
you'd have to wake up early
and that wholly defeated
my purposes

these lines made me smile big...
