My name is Gee
I have a crap job
If I’m not busy soon
I will end up a slob!

My eyes are sore
Looking at my pc
My head hurts too
God no more tea!

I try my best
Just to keep my cool
But it proves so hard
And I feel such a fool!

I start work at 8
And finish after 4
I just want some work
Please give me more!

My friends on DD
They keep me sane
But I know they are thinking
Oh no, not her again!

I know the problem
It’s clear to see
Everyone bluffs
But no, not me!

It could be worse
I think to myself
I could be one of those people
Who end up on the shelf!

And so tis my story
I wish I could find
A job that would give me
Some peace of mind!

All I need now is a publisher!

Maybe this is the start of something big for you!  A side job:)

The rat race is tough
As we all know
Better hold on tight
And go with the flow

With the bills to pay
The food and the rent
It flies through our fingers
So quickly spent

The credit crunch
Has taken its toll
Let’s hear some good news
Let’s rock n roll!

Roll on the summer
Let’s get a tan
And forget about work
Take a break, man!

So many places
So little time
I’m doing my best
To make this rhyme

So here’s to those folk
There’s many like me
Who want a new job
A place to be free,
Of the gossip and fuss
The coughing and sneezing
The tapping of pens
It’s just disbelieving

Never before
In my working day
Have I ever encountered
Such skivers at play

The world is our oyster
What does that mean?
Can someone tell me
Or else I’ll scream

Is it Friday yet?
Are we hanging on?
For the hands on the clock
To say, Be Gone!

And so as I sit
And wait for my break
I think to myself
The best things in life come to those who wait

Great poem Gee, keep them coming.

These are brilliant Gee...perhaps you could start a little poetry collection.

Aww thank you ladies, so kind.  Will try not to disappoint!

The next Poet Laureat (or should that be Laureate) has spoken!

I'd vote for you!

I'm on a roll today...

I’m so hot and bothered
Last week I was cold
Am I having a crisis?
Am I getting old?

I can’t stand the gossips
Those who act dumb
No time for wasters
Or the many who hum

Every day is the same
I’m so bored you see
Is everyone happier
And busier than me?

The women are catty
The men are a pain
Am I the only one
With half a brain?

The dust and the dirt
Makes it hard to show off
All the nice clothes
With the money I’ve bought

The devil wears Prada
If only I could
Even breaking a nail
Puts me in a mood

Please book me a flight
To the isle of my dreams
Where I can sip cocktails
And watch the ocean gleam

Adobe or not to be
That is the mess
This new IT jargon
Has me up the left

Is it bites or bytes
Chips or RAM
Is the helpdesk listening?
Do they give a damn?

We zip and we print
Our files and programs
Then ask for assistance
When something goes wrong

We edit and bind
Format and spell
Should I use Access
Or maybe Excel?

Outlook has crashed
What does it mean?
Where are my documents?
What is a theme?

My contacts are missing
My tasks are no more
But still there’s an error
Did we need Norton before?

The office assistant
In days of the past
Was a person you worked with
Not a dog or a cat

What is an icon?
A shortcut?  A path?
Where is my dictionary?
Who did the Math?

Who is this Gates?
Bill to his friends
He’s a lot to answer for
Setting these trends

We have to survive
With all these upgrades
I’m becoming ill
I need some shade,
From all of the glare
That hits us each day
When we first log on
At the start of the day

Alas and alack
The day it draws nigh
No more IT jargon
Til the sun hits the sky

Fantastic - these have brightened my day

I'm keeping another one for tomorrow!

Look forward to that.  

Women

It’s tough being a woman
Attractive we are
We put on our face
And dye our hair

The men in our lives
Expect so much
Don’t get old
Or gain an inch

The trends we follow
The patterns we set
Forget the cost
Or how much we spent

With Botox and filler
The nips and the tucks
We keep them guessing
What age we look

We plump and we polish
We scrub and we tan
All this to stay young?
All this for a man?

Not a grey hair in sight
Not a wrinkle or crease
How dare we give into
An extra piece
Of that chocolate fudge cake
Or Haagan Das ice
We left in the fridge
Just only last night

The diets the fads
How bad they must be
Depriving ourselves
Of food we can’t eat

But so ‘tis the trends
We read in the mags
Did you ever see Munroe
Look like a hag?

Vogue and Cosmo
Elle and Red
Is there something I’ve missed?
One I haven’t read?

Judy, Liza
Barbra, Bette
These are names
I shan’t forget

(inspired by the last verse, a one liner from Will & Grace!)

Another great poem Gee

I have another one I've been working on.  Will post shortly.

What do you Remember?

The 50s brought us
Coloured TV
How many of us
Watched the Queen?

The 60s launched
The mini skirt
And Twiggy too
Oh what a flirt!

The 70s saw
The Brady Bunch
The 80s brought
The Hair Bear Bunch

The Double Deckers
Were my fav
The Bay City Rollers
Were the whole rave

Armstrong landed
On the moon
The Pink Panther
Was once a cartoon

The Banana Splits
Were no dessert
I watched Sesame Street
With Ern and Bert

Zorro was shown
In black and white
Some thought Elvis
Was a sight

Summer Holiday
Starsky and Hutch
These were things
We loved so much

Why Don’t You…?
On Saturday morns
Remember Star Trek?
And Flash Gordon?

Champion was
The wonder horse
Bring back The Golden Girls
Bring back Morse

Remember Fame?
I loved that show
Top of the Pops
With Legs & Co.

Bell bottom jeans
Platform Shoes
Showaddywaddy
The Moody Blues

No Amy, Lindsay
J-Lo or Pink
We had Doris Day
In That Touch of Mink

Hudson, Grant
That was when
We had handsome
Leading men

No Pitt or Clooney
Leo or Bloom
We had Fred Astaire
Dancing round the room

Sinatra, Kelly
Bogart, Bacall
Marlon Brando
We had ‘em all

Charlie’s Angels
Johnny Cash
Stringer, Radar
Instant Mash!

The blue eyed-boy
We know called Essex
Bring back Swap Shop

Psycho, Grease
The Wizard of Oz
Happy Days

ChiPs, the Hoff
Baywatch Babes
Hart to Hart
Were all the craze

Porridge, Soap
Rising Damp
Different Strokes
Carry on Camp…

Penelope Pitstop
She was ace
Dastardly and Muttley
Never won a race

The House on the Prairie
Ian Fleming’s James Bond
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
On Golden Pond

ET and Annie
Abba and Wham
Boy they were great
I was such a fan!

And so to the present
For me it’s a shame
It’s all about texting
And high tech games

With iphones and latops
We stay in touch
Does it all really
Matter that much?

We download our music
No need to buy vinyl
When was the last time
You saw England in a final?

And so here we are
In 2009
So much has happened
In so little time

Back to the future
I’m sure there will be
More things to look back on
To tell our family

Gee, You're on a roll with these poems

Sometimes things just come to me, so I have to write it down....

Parts of the last one reminded me of parts of the lyrics for "Chess", if you remember that part (with Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers dancing on air).

Very good!
When is your first book being published?  They are good!

Jess (eat your heart out Tracey no-talent Emin!)

Oooh watch this space!!

Brilliant Gee, and to show my age I remember watching most of those TV shows you mention!
