Time to Laugh (Haiku Series #184)

Disconnecting

Driving hidden roads

How did we ever get lost?

Overwhelming

Back to the office

In-basket overflowing—

Is it Friday yet?

Lacking

Boss tells teenager

Need to use more elbow grease—

What on earth is that?

Monday Memories: Just Checking In

Sending a priority email to my boss an hour ago

A quick reply would be prized as time is my foe

 

Facing an ever-approaching deadline

The pressure is building—not so fine!

 

Writing one more email might do the trick

“Just checking in” doesn’t sound so slick

 

Hearing no reply yet, by the middle afternoon

Would another email bring an answer soon?

 

Sensing desperation as the clock winds down

Frustration fills my heart with a gloomy frown

 

Composing again—Sorry, but I must persist

“Just checking in” again, I must clearly insist

 

Receiving an email, which is long overdue

An automated message comes to my view

 

Using “Just checking in” as the subject line

These three words “really” are never fine!
