I like this Char. am hearing you about the 9-5 doom and gloom. nicely phrased.

Yep, that about sums up my day today! hehe

Delightful contrasting couplets! I like the positive lines best: inspiration/motivation; art/freedom; strategy/mind.Keep up the good work!

9 til 5 would have driven me crazy!

Only way into teachers college, in 1962, was via scholarship. Was not in the first lot. Worked for four weeks in a government office.
Terrible! Luckily during the latter part I knew that I could get into Wollongong T.C..

So mine would be

“Good morning Mr M.!”
8:30 til 3:30, kids and energy,
music, maths, games,
teaching, testing, talking,
tiring, satisfying, fun!

Thanks for the comments on my stuff.

Ozcloggie, I love it! You should put that one up in your writing bubble!
