The 7pm Crowd

2 August 2013

You’ve just got to want it more than the rest

The 7pm crowd are haggard and tired,
Caffeine stained lips of the twitchy and wired.
Dragging their withered shells home to stare
Into another crowded bundle of coloured light.

You did a good job today,
You did yourself proud,
You showed them how it’s done,
It’s all yours to be won.

It’s there for the taking,
You’ve just got to want it more than the rest
And you might just make it
‘Cos you’re no jobsworth, you’re obsessed!

Time for the sack, mind racing,
Running on fumes but the chase ain’t over,
Best set the alarm a half hour early
To be seen, to be heard, to come stumbling out
Of your bosses bosses tongue.

You show em how it’s done
It’s all yours to be won.
