Constant beeping
Stifles many's sleeping
Get up! Time to go!
Don't be late for work!
Even arriving a minute tardy,
Makes the boss berserk.
Suit, check
Briefcase, yes
Clamor on to the bus
Cup of Joe, got it
Manila folder, find it!
Gee, the boss'll make a fuss
When you think you're in the clear,
Uh oh... rush hour is here!
Stuck behind a geezer, ******!
Acceleration pedal, jam it!
8:01...
Oh hell, you're done.
