snow day poem

i woke up at 8, and i was tired as hell
i tried my best to get up, but instead i just fell.
i stumbled to my window, i expected snow
and that's just what i saw when i looked down below.
i was awake, all cheery but cold
if i could get to work on time, then i'd be gold.
i put on my hat and my gloves and i trudged
actually, slid to work in the ice and the sludge.

when i arrived to work, i was filled with glee
there were only 2 sets of eyes looking back at me!
it was emily and david, my good friends from work
they both lost the bets on how late i'd be - and i smirked.
"no one is here today?" i asked david straight
"well, there's sylvester, who's been dancing since eight!"
he told me people will be working from home
which isn't fair because we'll be all alone.

but the time clock chirped and it brought me delight
sarah walked in and that means it's alright.
i'm happy work won't be such a chore
because now we have five people instead of just four!
it's important to keep people in good cheer
especially me because i'm the narrator here.
we'll be chatting it up, everyone with a grin
as long as people keep clocking in.
