The view from the office desk on Friday afternoon. Well it's better than Monday morning, I suppose!

Sat in the office, and what can I see?
Here in the office, with my cup of tea
Here in the office, they are all friendly
Sat in the office, trying to keep busy

Stuck in the office, outside it's sunny
Here in the office, it's hot and gloomy
Here in the office, the phone rings for me
Stuck in the office, can't write poetry

I hate the office, it's no comedy
Here in the office, the clock's cruelty
Here in the office, boredom factory
I hate the office, its hierarchy

Can't leave the office, there's many like me
Can’t leave the office, not till we’re sixty
 

Author's Note

There's not really much difference whether you work in an office or a factory or a shop, I imagine the feelings are pretty much the same. What d'you think?

Many thanks Wordcrafter!

This sonnet, the repetition very much emphasises what the words are saying, good synchronicity between words, rhythm and theme.
