A typical work day gets off to a bad start - controlling one's anger is a must - a poem.
Another gruesome morning,
The traffic’s so absurd,
You fear your boss’s warning,
And you’re giving them the bird!

Finally at the office,
They’re wishing you Good Morning,
But underneath the surface
A frown you’re still adorning. 

But with profession’s tact,
You calmly slip away,
Fatigue remains a fact,
But patience rules the day.

Now you’re drinking coffee,
And caffeine is kicking in. 
Frustration, now you see,
Could be that tragic sin. 

Still managing that mood,
Amid the shameless rest,
Oh, how that’s understood. 
The bird’s the greatest test.
