Walking to work blues

Just a bit of fun!

Walking through the city centre off to work I go
I wish the lady in front of me would put down her mobile phone
She shouts in anger and cheers with joy all while standing in my way
Can she not see I'm on my way to work and she is causing me delay?

Now little old Dorris has come out today all on her very own
A knitted hat upon her her head and a face like alcapone
she treads down the lanes in her petticoat and snow white cosy feet
Wrapped up in her winter coat...providing much needed heat
She walks with arms outstretched fingers gripping her frame
For today is the day she gets her pension and nothing will stand in her way
She is an elderly lady out on a mission reporting for duty sir
She can see well for her timely age but the distant path is a blur
She wavers and wobbles to and fro at 3 miles per hour
All while I'm becoming late for work...my mood becoming sour

I finally reach the shopping centre through which I'm passing through
But here they come with leaflets in hand shouting ''can i speak to you''
I can save you money every month if you will fill out a form or two
Then there are the people paid to walk around with a tray
Laden with sweet niceties that are free to take away
But do you not understand I'm here for work not pleasure
And if you hold me up anymore your day will not be getting better

Finally I escape the busy mall even if only until morn
Tomorrow pedestrians better pay heed to my scorn
I see the staff entrance positioned in from of me...like a mirage I see the door
As i approach the keypad i sigh with relief as I finally enter the store
